<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>My boots-on-the-ground work to fight human trafficking throughout Asia. There are more slaves in the world today than any other time in history. Enter the world of human trafficking and explore what we can do together to end this global crime. Where Were You?: A Profile of Modern Slavery by Matthew Friedman provides an up-to-date overview of human trafficking, a largely ignored present-day evil, and recounts true stories of enslavement in Asia today. Former United Nations and USAID expert Matthew Friedman obtained in-depth first-hand knowledge with boots-on-the-ground work over 30 years throughout Asia. Human trafficking exists in nearly every nation on earth and Friedman has personally interviewed hundreds of freed slaves and imprisoned traffickers throughout South and Southeast Asia. The modern slave trade operates in brothels, fisheries, clothing and chocolate industries, as well as a myriad of other manufacturing jobs and is a billion dollar business that continues to grow unchecked. Even with the collective response of governments, the UN and civil society partners, less than 0.2 percent of the victims are assisted.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Has appeal for both the beginner and the veteran abolitionist.

I felt the author's transparency was very inspiring." --Rachael Williams-Mejri, Editor, <i>Grace As Justice Magazine</i><br><br>Matt's grasp of the issue(s) of human trafficking is 30 years deep, and reflects a long journey of action and reflection which he graciously allows us to learn from. There is something here for all of us, and indeed it will TAKE all of us to end human trafficking. That's the moral of Matt's superb book. Jennifer Roemhildt Tunehag, Co-founder, European Freedom Network Core team, Freedom Business Alliance Member, World Evangelical Alliance Global Human Trafficking Task Force<br><br>Must read for all. I highly commend this book for everyone to read whether you are an inquirer or a veteran abolitionist. If you are a government employee, business person or NGO worker, this is a must read. There is a growing list of literature to read on the topic of slavery and human trafficking, this one should be one of the first to read. In this new and very readable profile of modern slavery Matt Friedman gives a well-balanced take on the issue, his experience, and what each of us can do practically to join the "second generation abolition movement". --Peter J Mihaere, CEO, Stand Against Slavery<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Matthew Friedman is a leading, internationally renowned global expert on modern slavery and human trafficking.
