Ashley Judd spoke up at a discussion about human trafficking at the UN General Assembly in early June. A women that truly uses her celebrity for good talks of her opportunities to obtain knowledge and to build awareness for the cause as an intense emotional experiences stating:
I have been to 12 countries worldwide and spent a great deal of time in brothels, slums, hospices, youth drop-in centers, in both public hospitals as well as rural clinics. It is very difficult to leave behind people I know are victims of human trafficking. I defy anyone to walk out of a brothel or to walk out of an orphanage leaving those people behind. So I have been making a series of sacred promises: "I will never forget you" and "I will tell your story." I know that the unheard are helped when they are heard.
Help tell a story by purchasing fair trade items at Hybridity.
