Comments on: Welcome to HFTS. Please click below to watch a film about sex trafficking in Canada. http://hopeforthesold.com/hello-world/ Human Trafficking Must End - Fight Sex Trafficking - Hope for the Sold Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:23:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Cathy Mott http://hopeforthesold.com/hello-world/#comment-343 Cathy Mott Wed, 26 May 2010 12:40:51 +0000 http:/?p=1#comment-343 While doing some research on my son's video "Stolen" at 3mtl.com I came across your documentary. What a superb piece of work! I think that the more we look at every aspect to this problem the greater chance we have to freeing the enslaved. I was so glad to see that you looked at the demand side of this equation. The viciousness of this crime is how it is wrapped up in the economics of the world community and the indoctrination of our young men and boys by pornographers, that this is what love and sex are all about. We have allowed the likes of Hugh Hefner, Larry Flynt and their ilk to define sex and relationships for our young men replacing the mentoring by good men and fathers. My son, Brian Terry, is very active for this cause here in the states and I hope you will view his interviews and music video "Stolen" at 3mtl.com when you can. Please keep up the good work, so very many lives depend on it. Thank you Canadians, we love our neighbor to the north!

I just finished watching your documentary, and it was amazing. I went to Japan a couple years ago with a group to do a focus on human trafficking through photography, and it is truly an issue that so important to educate people on. It's a difficult to issue to take on because of the depth, and complexity of it. I know there are days it would weigh to heavy, I didn't want to think about it anymore. So, keep up the amazing work! Regards, -Christine Jennings Hey!

We just found out that it has been sent to a bunch of people in the Canadian government. That is fantastic...it is so great to get the news out! Right now we are building HFTS into an info resource centre for students and abolitionists. if you happen to come across news or articles etc on trafficking, send them our way! That would be a big help! We'll let you know how you can help in other ways too as we build...I am sure there will be many ways to get involved! Michelle Thanks Sabrina!!

I've know for years that something was happening but was never quite sure how or who. I never dreampt that many average poor, middle class and educted men take advantage of these women and young victims without thought or regret. The johns have to be made accountable, without accountability and without conscience, you create an atmosphere of opportunity. Why stop, who cares, they're throwaway people aren't they? The world cares and we all have to take a stand. There's no such thing as garbage people, they're somebody's sister, mother, child. This was incredibly informative.

Suggest you change the greeting on the page from "Welcome and Enjoy" as "enjoyment" is almost a contraindication of what you are trying to achieve. Perhaps your greeting could read to "Welcome and be inspired to action" or "Welcome, look, learn and live the changes needed to end human slavery and trafficking" Excellent and moving, thought provoking video.

Just saw the movie "Human Trafficking" recently and my heart was torn out of my chest because of the reality of this evil. I shake my head in disbelief that this happens in our world today- and especially at home here in Canada. I read recent articles about how trafficking escalated because of the recent Olympics. SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Seems like such a huge ginormous mountain to conquer! I'm posting your website all over my networks. I work at a crisis pregnancy service in Toronto helping women with self esteem, relationship issues, crisis pregnancy, and abortion. I know my world is slowly colliding with this other issue of human trafficking and want to help on our end by educating the community about it as well as the other things we do already. If we all work together, we can make difference- one life at a time. Thank you for all your hard work on making this campaign/video and don't give up! With prayers and endurance, Eeleah GREAT job!
