An actress learns human trafficking doesn't just happen 'over there.'
Comment: God bless Emma Thompson, and God bless all enslaved people.
Maybe Reverend Wright has a reason to be angry?
Comment: I've always thought that the Congressional Black Caucus is particularly well placed to take public and moral stands against modern day slavery. I've even written to them about it. But they sit so quietly in the luxurious halls of Congress that most Americans don't even know they exist. Prehaps they are too busy trying to extort money from people who never owned slaves for modern African Americans who never were slaves.
Write to your congressman. Tell them to take on something more important than whether or not athletes take steroids!!
Comment: Human trafficking is not far from any of us. It's just happening in the face of all of us. Policy makers, law implementors, and law enforcement people are the very people practicing human trafficking.
If everyone will agree, on the television and other homes, all these people have house helps who wash, cook, clean, and other errands for their own children. This is a perfect child exploitation and even worse than human trafficking. I think this is where the problem lies. Let's start solving it from there. Thank you.

Comment: I believe globalization holds the hope of providing enough economic opportunity in the many impoverished regions of the world, like Moldova here, from which ambitious people are enticed with promises of a better life elsewhere - if we can get globalization right and put properly functioning institutions - such as the visa system for international travel - in place. Thank you, Ms. Thompson for bringing attention to this, one of the many byproducts of our indifference to poverty and desperation.
Comment: Thanks for speaking out, Emma.
Comment: I've always loved Emma Thompson and the spirit that she brings to every role she plays. Brining attention to this is the greatest role she will ever play. Thank you, Emma.
Comment: Has Newsweek now become the all estrogen news magazine? I mean seriously. Don't mind please just tell me.

Comment: Thank you for this article.
Comment: The men who use these women and childeren know they are slaves. It just makes it more exciting for them. Then they go home to the wife and kiddies. Right here in this country. Or they take sex vacations where they can get little girls of 3 or 4. What's happened to the men of this country? They've all gotten so vile.
Comment: I have a serious problem with your comment. I am a 40 year old married man who has NEVER been to a prostitute, never had sex with an underage female, and has never even entertained a thought of doing any of the above. The men in this country have all gotten so vile? Maybe you should work on not stereotyping those you do not know.
