Rebecca Rosen edits a “booklet” in The Atlantic for March
with three life stories of human trafficking.
All three are women who worked domestically. Two are from the Philippines, one from
Brazil.
They were generally involved in caregiving as live-ins, and
were paid much less than promised contractually. Some did not have good living conditions, as in
Boston winters. Some had immigration and
visa issues, although the articles do not go into detail on this.
But there is “slavery” in other areas (especially caregiving) besides the sex trafficking
which is in the news now because of the FOSTA-SESTA bills in Congress.
