Anti-Human Trafficking Project“ You have to stay persistent. You can’t just give up. . . . I had a 22-year-old victim who was afraid to testify against her pimp.

A Rohingya boy walks through a refugee camp in Bangladesh (photo by Jeanne Hallacy).“ Where, after all, do universal rights begin? In small places, close to home—so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. ”Eleanor Roosevelt, “The Great Question” remarks delivered at the United Nations in New York on March 27, 1958
