Yep, it's very important to recognize these things still happen today and are not remnants of the past. It was maybe a few ago that people were being sold into slavery somewhere in Africa. There's something like 30-40 million people trafficked worldwide, not sure how many are sex slaves or how many are children. I think we're all aware of what's happening in Ukraine and Palestine. For those of us living in the United States, it feels like we may be just months away from living in an fascist authorization dictatorship... of sorts.

The problems of the past are very much still with us today.
