Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 As a moderator of this group, I try very hard not to use it as a personal soapbox to stand on and shout about my pet issues. I think most longtime members will attest that I am usually not too overbearing in that way. But the issue raised by UNICEF (see my previous post by clicking "Up Thread") has been of longtime concern to me -- and if any of you feel the same, I wanted to note some reliable resources through which you can help stop (and undo the damage already wrought by) this outrageous and heartbreaking practice. Perhaps one of the best resources for educating yourself and taking action is the "Captive Daughters" organization: http://www.captivedaughters.org/Index.htm Another excellent organization -- one that I've worked with for around 15 years now -- is PLAN International. Their child trafficking page nis filled with options on getting involved in stopping this criminal activity: http://www.planusa.org/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/56 I'd also mention World Vision's WILFund, "Changing the World, One WOman At a Time," which is actively fighting this sort of exploitation: http://www.worldvision.org/worldvision/appeals.nsf/stable/wilfund_join_prevent There are other organizations involved in this work as well. And it is vital work, which can profoundly change lives that are just beginning. Please think about it, and help if you can. Okay, now I'll shut up. ;-) Thanks DB , "Devi Bhakta" <devi_bhakta> wrote: > Colombo, SRI LANKA (September 29, 2004): More than 500,000 women and > children are trafficked out of Nepal and Bangladesh into India and > Pakistan annually, says Dr Sadig Rasheed, Regional Director of UNICEF.
