Human trafficking “unexpurgated evil”

To the Editor,

Re: Industry support for OnRoute to Freedom event

When it comes to man’s inhumanity to man, there’s darkness, and there’s unexpurgated evil.  Human trafficking falls into the latter category.   And, all along, we figured slavery had been abolished once and for all. 

How patently naive.  Just like with the proliferation of illicit drugs, governments everywhere must work diligently to eradicate human trafficking once and for all – such are the egregious violations to body and soul suffered by its victims – the majority of whom, women.   

Those responsible must be brought to justice, and sentenced to prison for years. 

Plain.  And.  Simple.
