HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Krishnan remembers her anger much stronger-
more vividly than her memory of the pain/raping.

Perhaps it was this anger which empowered her to become a woman whose lifework has become saving others
(over 3,200 so far).

Now, as she rescues these people,
she asks herself:
"How can I get out the POWER from this PAIN?"




Trafficking is not limited to "certain countries" or the really big cities.
I live in the midwest (Minnesota) and yet we need/have a sex trafficking vice squad here. Minneapolis/St. Paul isn't that large, so I was surprised that we needed a specialized department to handle this- right here in my home city.


Now let's look at another innovative suggestion for approaching human right's dilemmas.

Sarabhai stresses the value of the universal language (i.e. voice) of the Arts to the advocacy of Human Rights!!

Artistic devices, such as literary expressions, are in a unique position of giving a public voice to the very private realm where struggles with women’s human rights often occur.

I think that Sarabhai makes a good point about arts being a universal language. It touches and speaks in the language of the heart...and the heart is the seat of motivation.

What do you think about using the arts for political aims? Effective? Persuasive?

SUPPORT THE ARTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY
