Not For Sale
"Our Strategy | Not For Sale." Not For Sale. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 June 2015. <https://notforsalecampaign.org/our-strategy/>.
The “Not For Sale” organization is on a mission to put an end to human trafficking around the globe. This website offers a wide range of information about human trafficking including their goals, different facts about the issue, specific experiences from victims, and potential solutions that would help end human trafficking. In addition to various facts, they also offer a place to make donations, and the team behind “Not For Sale” uses specific evidence to show how donating makes a difference. By using powerful images in their site, and enforcing the spread of their message, you can see that the reason for this website's creation is simple: stop modern slavery and the trafficking of human beings.
This source stands to be very useful in my research about human trafficking. It provides a very admirable model of a site that conveys a powerful meaning well. As I previously stated, it both offers concrete facts about the issue, and various ways human trafficking may be stopped in the future. Furthermore, they offer very aesthetically pleasing graphics about topics such as the organization's achievements in the last year. I have very strong reason to believe that this is a reliable source due to the thorough yet short biographies offered about the people involved with “Not For Sale”. For example, the president and co-founder, David Batstone is a very distinguished individual as well as accomplished advocate. He is a business professor at San Francisco University and was named National Endowment for the Humanities Chair at the University of San Francisco. In addition to David, many other members of the team have experience with those involved in human trafficking such as Mark Wexler, the executive director. This source is biased in the way that it does not show the negatives drawn from stopping human trafficking. If this bias was removed however, the purpose of “Not For Sale” would be defeated and including the potential negative effects would not help achieve the goals of this organization.
This source opened up my eyes to how great the number of people there are in the world that are actually trying to stop human trafficking. It was very beneficial to my work due to the plethora of useful information provided, but it was also helpful to me in the sense that it deepened my interest in stopping human trafficking. By showing viewers of this site the grand amount of lives that have been both impacted and saved by organizations like “Not For Sale”, those reading are left with a sweet taste in their mouth. This source helps me shape my argument around fact based evidence showing why human trafficking is a problem that desperately needs stopping.
