About this Petition Pledge

Human trafficking is an international affront to human rights and the rule of law. We cannot continue to look the other way while people, particularly young women and children, are being "disappeared," terrorized, raped, and murdered daily. We must raise international awareness about this issue--it must become part of our serious discourse, like the economy or the war in Iraq. Anything we can do about this helps: read a book about human trafficking and if it inspires you to act or if it's enlightening, recommend it to friends. Host a viewing at your place of a documentary about human trafficking. This excellent blog has a list of books and films about human trafficking. Organize a forum (or even an organization) at your school. Volunteer with a non-profit committed to human rights, ending human trafficking, and/or fair trade. Write letters to your local newspaper editors and let them know your community cares about this. Sign petitions. Posts articles about this issue on your personal site (i.e. Facebook). Any action is a step towards emnacipation.
