    I was going to say, while it's probably not as prominent as it was back then, people trafficking is still going on. It seems like if there's money to be made, then people will try and make it, morals and ethics don't seem to come into it.

    Modern day slavery doesn't get much coverage unfortunately. And rumors even have it that the security agencies do nothing to stop the selling of children and women. So engrossed are with the past that we fail to address the issues which need our urgent attention.

    Human trafficking is the world's fastest growing criminal enterprise and is an estimated $32 billion-a-year global industry

    But little is being done to stop it.
