Sex Trafficking: Time for Action?

Despite the fact that human trafficking is getting a lot of important exposure, the number of victims remains on the rise. How do we, as a world community, move from Exposure to Constructive Action?  Nicholas Kristof wrote a big piece on the NYT Op Ed page last week. He mentions one of our favorite divas Ruchira Gupta, who founded the resource organization Apne Aap for women of the red light districts of India. She’s featured in our documentary “Holy Cow." Kristoff was taken to task by Alexandar Cockburn online and in the Nation for being among the journalists who cover these stories, somewhat breathlessly, without responsibly getting to the crux of the problem. In the case of India’s rise in trafficking and sex slavery, that woud be The World Bank and its damaging policies.  What do you think?
