Workshops will be held on a wide range of topics, from forced labour and sexual exploitation to the trafficking in persons for the removal of organs and body parts.....in history...this used to be called slave-trade...and no...we have not abolished it worldwide. :(

Human trafficking irritates so much some times i have to stay away from these kinds of stories because I can't sleep thinking about all the people and the women and children in such horrible horrible treatment and abuse etc etc...

Is there a petition for this maybe??

Sad but true Kathy, noted. Wish we could save/buy them all. Like mother Teresa said, if you do not want them, let me have them.....
