Many people in the United States believe that slavery is something of the past. The harsh fact of the world today is that it still is alive, and there are to many people in the world being affected by it. The "END IT" movement is something that has been started to raise awareness of sex trafficking going on throughout the world. CNN wrote an article on the Passion conference, and they talked about how more than 42,000 college students come together in one place and worship God. The college students come together, and they worship for a weekend all in one place. They also raise money to help save money women from sex trafficking, and they help men who are caught in slavery over seas. CNN said "They came together from 56 countries and 2,300 universities, according to organizers, “to shine a light on modern-day slavery.” I look forward to hopefully go one day and experience the Passion Conference for myself. This a fact that CNN gave in the article "The United Nations estimates 27 million people are entrapped in modern-day slavery at any given time around the world in a market valued at $32 billion." Slavery is alive and real, and it is Christians job to share the light of Christ with others, but it is also to help those who can not help themselves.
