Tuesday is Global Human Trafficking Awareness Day

This week, the world will observe Global Human Trafficking Awareness Day.

The reason is simple: More than thirty-million people are trafficked globally for sex each year. Of that number, three million will be children. And a sizable portion of victims will be right here in the United States.

Pamala Kennedy Chestnut was so stirred by the consequences of human trafficking that she wrote a novel about it called More Than Rice from M3 New Media.

In More Than Rice, Pamala Kennedy Chestnut introduces us to a 17-year-old teen named Gabriela who is kidnapped in Manila. Over time, she transforms from a selfish, self-absorbed teenager to a fearless leader of a group of victims. She finds her true mission is to give love, freedom and hope to the girls who find themselves in a constant nightmare.

Human trafficking is an issue here at home as well as abroad. Pamala Kennedy Chestnut’s own home, the greater Tulsa, OK area, is one of the 10-worst-cities for human trafficking because of its unique location caught in the crossroads.

If you plan coverage of human trafficking in the coming days, please consider an interview with Pamala Kennedy Chestnut. She did extensive research on the subject while preparing for her novel and has been actively involved in finding ways to stop human trafficking.

At the end of More Than Rice, Kennedy Chestnut offers simple and tangible ways your audience can become aware of human trafficking and help apply pressure to stop it forever.

Pamala Kennedy Chestnut is available for interviews to talk about her book, about her research into human trafficking and, importantly, the steps your audience can take to apply pressure to governments where human trafficking persists.
