The Youth Advocate Program International is a non-profit organization founded in 1994

dedicating themselves to promote and protect the rights and well-being of youth around
the world. They focus particular attention to youth who have been victimized by conflict,
exploitation, and state and personal violence. This source not only describes the different
types of slavery, but also provides insight on the locations it is more predominant and the
impact of the children who have been victimized. This source will be used to demonstrate
the impact slavery has had on children and what it is being done to improve this issue.

The author, Andrew Cockburn, is a writer, lecturer and journalist who represents the
National Geographic in a article expressing modern slavery in the 21st Century. The
National Geographic is one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions
in the world that focus on inspiring people to care about the planet from 1888. Its
interests include: geography, archaeology and natural sciences. National Geographic is a
great and reliable source for they study of world cultures, history and has no biased
opinion. The article itself presents the facts of slavery today being at a greater number in
comparison to slaves that were captured from Africa in the slave trade. Giving multiple
interviews of victims and convicts in slavery that can provide examples and true life
stories for my paper.

The National Underground Freedom Center is the world’s first museum exhibiting
human trafficking and slavery both past and present. It is said to be an excellent source of
background information and historical facts of the subject. It discusses the ‘who, what,
when, where, and why factors’ of slavery presenting plenty of information that can help
pursue my argument. The National Underground Freedom Center focuses on the negative
impact slavery has impacted on slaves. It includes various articles and books by
professors as well. This resource provides excellent information that can be used for an
argumentative essay.

UNICEF was authorized by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for
children’s rights and basic needs and working all over the world. UNICEF presented an
article by Chris Niles who introduces a new documentary called ‘Not My Life,’ that was
directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Robert Bilheimer. Supported by UNICEF and
other international non-governmental organizations, this documentary looks at the ‘multi-
billion dollar industry that is the modern-day slave trade.’ The article itself discusses the
importance of awareness and negative outlooks of slavery and human trafficking. For the
argumentative essay, I will use both the article and documentary as a support for my
argument.
