We can stop this!!

I'm posting this because i feel that everyone should be aware of the things that are happening around us. I believe by posting this it could make a difference.

Sad to say that many among us are not aware of Human Trafficking which is serious type of modern slavery. Many Malaysians do not even realise that human trafficking even exists in our country. Victims of Human trafficking are mostly children, women and immigrants that are easily tricked into becoming slaves,beggars or prostitutes. Many people are deceived to believe they are offered a better job overseas but instead they are heading in for the worst. Women and children as young as the age of 5 would be forced into prostitution. Whilst, migrant workers would be locked up and sold to work in plantation without being paid a single cent.

Everybody is greedy but money is not the root of all evils..its humanity that is. We could make a difference by:

1)Helping to spread the word.
2)There is more information in Trafficking in Persons report at http://tinyurl.com/lmfd56
3)Report to Tenaganita or the police if you know of a trafficked person.
4)You may also donate to shelters which is organised by Tenaganita(an anti-trafficking programme) 03-26913691/71\
5)Or you may purchase the specially developed Soft Hands Kind Heart Hand Cream by The Body Shop at the price of RM39.90 . The purchase of each bottle, Rm30 will go to ECPAT International, Tenaganita, Nur Salam and P.S The Children.

We must help one another, nobody deserves to be treated like slaves especially innocent children.
