InSite recently wrote about iAbolish. From InSite:
iAbolish is the website of the American Anti-Slavery Group (AASG), a non-profit founded in 1994 devoted to ending modern day slavery. AASG pursues its goal by “promoting awareness, engaging in advocacy and activism, and providing direct aid for victims.” The website is a communication vehicle for the group. In addition to the background and history of AASG, the main feature of the site is material discussing the current state of slavery — AASG estimates that more than twenty-seven million people are enslaved today. Users of the site can pick up various fast facts while learning more about the four types of slavery: chattel slavery, debt bondage, sex slavery, and forced labor. Essays on slavery are posted to the site, including pieces that address the situations in the U.S. and India, which, it is claimed, has more slaves than any other country. The site also provides news items and links to related organizations.
