A21

I didn't realise that today human trafficking is a huge problem. Approximately 27million (so a lot of) people are sold as slaves for work or sex, or whatever; and only 1% of them get rescued, so 99% of the people (mostly women and children) are sold and used for the rest of their lives, until they die or get murdered.

AND there are millions of children in third world countries that die before they turn 5. That's just not fair. They don't even have clean drinking water. The water they drink is full of bacteria that once swallowed is fatal. Some are even born with aids because of their parents, they have no hope.

AND there are women in some countries that are totally rejected and isolated for having aids AND some women even get their ears, nose and lips cut off, sometimes for no reason at all. There are campaignes that are raising money to restore these womens faces, plastic surgeons are willing to give them new faces, give them back what was taken from them.

And of course there are problems locally. Elderly people who have no one to help them. Some of them can't even do something as simple as changing a light bulb.

I don't know about you guys but I think this is all pretty disgusting and id like to do something about it! You know, you can buy a person in the trafficking "industry" for as little as $90. So I want to go buy heaps of trafficked people and set them free. Obviously I can't do that, but we need to come together and make a change. The A21 Campaign aims at human trafficing, we should all give them money to help all the people, to change the figure from 1% to 100% resued, lives restored. Human trafficking even goes on in Australia. This disappoints me, I had no idea, I am no longer proud of my country. The main country with the problem is Europe, and Mexico. Lets be the change people!

www.thea21campaign.org talks about ways we can help. One particular way that I am going to do as of now, is: FAST ON THE 21ST
"On the 21st day of every month, fast for the work The A21 Campaign is doing in Greece and around the world as together we stand in agreement to see the injustice of human trafficking abolished."
It also lists other ways we can help; start an awareness group, sponsorship, volunteers and many more. I ask that you consider others, and really try to help.
