Human Trafficking has been outlawed but not eradicated.
There are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today
and approximately 1000 in Australia at any one time.

Bono refers to Batstone as a "heroic character". A professor of ethics at the University of San Francisco, theologian, award winning author and keynote speaker, Batstone has travelled the world investigating the slave trade

before

writing his latest book "Not For Sale".
