Human trafficking, the modern form of slavery, is a global phenomenon with very real implications locally. According to the President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, there are more slaves today than ever before, with an estimated 21 million victims. And every 30 seconds one more person is added to this number.

Dr. Linda Geller-Schwartz is the Coordinator of POAST (Partner Organizations Against Sex Trafficking), a Palm Beach County coalition that combats human trafficking through awareness, education, and advocacy.
