Thursday was World Day Against Trafficking of Persons. We have included
several articles, actions, and videos related to human trafficking in
this Weekly Update. "Each year millions of women, men and children are
trafficked for profit.
They are sexually exploited, made to undertake demanding and often
dangerous work in homes, farms and factories across the globe, and find
themselves victims of one of the many other forms of abuse such as
forced marriage or organ removal. Yet despite the wide-spread
recognition that this is one of today's most exploitative crimes, action
is lacking: more needs to be done to dismantle the organized criminal
networks behind this, while at the same time it is critical that
assistance to victims be stepped up." Click here for entire article from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
Also please consider taking action on behalf of Salar Shadizadi. He was
arrested in Iran as a juvenile and is scheduled for execution tomorrow.
We have provided several links for more information and actions that
you can take for him.
Thank you... for all that you do for others!
