Human trafficking is the fastest growing global crime and is now the second largest after the illegal arms trade. It involves the movement of people, against their will, through violence, deception or coercion for the purpose of sex, forced labour or even body parts. Men, women and children are all victims of trafficking; although approximately 80 per cent are women and girls and up to 50 per cent are children. The book contains real-life stories, photographs, and practical action points, divided into 6 sections - Stop: The right to freedom; Look: Trafficking is on your doorstep; Think: Attitudes and awareness; Buy: The power of the consumer; Act: Join the movement; and, Start: Resources to get you started.

About the Author:
Cherie Blair is a human rights lawyer and campaigner on women's rights and empowerment.
From Publishers Weekly:
Aside from emphasizing the obvious horrors of human trafficking, this book offers little useful information about its causes and consequences. Social activist Chalke (The Lost Message of Jesus) spotlights mostly girls and women who were duped or forced into slavery and prostitution, depicting former slaves as anonymous victims of a shady power that the book makes only a marginal attempt to investigate. The anecdotes (relayed out of context) combined with the moody portraits of trafficked women feel bizarrely staged and off-putting. While this isn't a book that gives the reader even a general understanding of the mechanisms of human trafficking, Chalke does offer familiar actions everyone can take to ensure they don't contribute to the business—like buying fair-trade goods and organizing petitions and fund-raisers for groups that fight trafficking. Chalke wants to call ordinary readers to action, but the content of the book will resonate deepest with those already invested in grassroots groups that fight human trafficking. (May)
