Human Trafficking: Rescue Children Living in Poverty Video
Contributed by J. R. Ransom
Rescue Children
Human Trafficking: Rescue Children Living in Poverty from Danger and Abuse. This information video (1min 21sec) is public service announcement from Stir, a charitable organization in Australia.
"What if I told you that one of the biggest growth industries in the world is right on your doorstep? It engages more that 1.2 million children each year and generates over 7 billion dollars annually. It doesn't pay taxes. It's never featured on the news. It doesn't advertise for jobs but there's plenty of work for everyone. So what is it? Human Trafficking!"
"I believe children, no matter where they are born, deserve to live free of danger, abuse and poverty. I Stir for a better world! I think 50cents a day (AUS$15 a month) is a small sacrifice to help rescue millions of children who - through no fault of their own - need rescuing from things like : * Being kidnapped * Being sold into slavery and prostitution * Forced into hard labour"
