Thanks for posting this. It's a rough read, but a world many of us never see much less otherwise think about.

They reference the Polaris Project, seem like a decent a non-profit in the field to combat this stuff. They're getting my attention - Epic CharityStar rating. http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary...

Took me a while to realize: you have to scroll down to see the content.

In Chrome, it doesn't scroll. It appears to be only the image and the headline. (Edit: nope, nor Firefox either, for me)

It scrolls in Safari (7.0.2), although you have to scroll quite a bit before you actually start seeing the content below the image(s). In addition, in my browser window of size 1024 × 669 pixels, the text in text-right.png¹ is cut off from the author down and is impossible to read since scrolling doesn’t move the image.

I'm quite interested in the topic of modern day slavery and sex trafficking. The article was made frustratingly difficult to read.

Slavery in America is something that really needs to be discussed openly and in free society. People believing that slavery doesn't/can't exist in their modern world really need to be exposed to the truth: there is more slavery now than there ever was.

It does scroll in Chrome. However, you have to scroll for a bit before anything beyond the scrollbar changes.

It seems to be in fashion to have similar style webpages these days. I don't like them. I assume they are designed for mobile.
