Although slavery is officially illegal in the civilized world, it still happens in concealed fashion through “human trafficking.” Please help put a stop to this.

Can you imagine being ripped away from your family and sold into a lifetime of slavery or prostitution at age seven?
This horror story was a reality for 1.2 million girls and boys this year.
And the demand for cheap labor and child prostitution means that at least 1.2 million more children will be trafficked in 2010 if we don’t make protecting them a global priority.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has expressed her commitment to ending human trafficking, but we need her continued help to make this issue a global priority.

We must do more to end this appalling abuse of children, especially girls, who are particularly vulnerable and frequently sold into prostitution, trafficked as “mail order brides,” or raped by their ”employers.”
At Plan, our cutting edge programs focus on rescuing and rehabilitating victims of child trafficking, increasing community awareness of the dangers, and providing education and life skills training.
But to prevent this exploitation from happening in the first place, we need leaders like Hillary Clinton to ramp up global efforts and continue their work to end this violation of girls’ and boys’ rights.
Ask Secretary of State Clinton to spread awareness about human trafficking and help put an end to this exploitation of children worldwide!
Thank you for supporting Plan as we fight to help the millions of girls and boys that have already been sold into slavery and stop 1.2 million more children from being exploited next year.
For the children,
W. Ahuma Adodoadji
