My brother’s non-profit, Operation Broken Silence was in The Commercial Appeal this weekend:
With a study of a popular website offering adult advertisements for “escorts,” a young human rights group in Memphis is calling for action to reduce human trafficking in the local sex industry.
The group, Operation Broken Silence, this week released a report that studied Memphis-area female escort listings for the final three months of 2010 placed on the classified advertisement website backpage.com.
Things like Backpage are simply shocking, especially in 2011. I’m super proud of the work Mark and Ryan have done, and am encouraged by their drive to change our city — and the world — for the good.
