Hi everyone,

Please read the email below and consider donating money to Avaaz to end the rape trade. Every minute, 2 girls (as young as 9 years old) are sold into sex slavery, raped and beaten. This actually happens near our homes and schools. Avaaz is working with other unsung heroes to end this evil and disgusting slave trade. Signing can and does make a difference. It has helped Avaaz raise huge donations to fight for human rights. Signing has also helped rebuild countries torn by natural disasters, like Haiti. You voice really does count. You can donate here:


https://secure.avaaz.org/en/fight_rape_trade/?vl


Feel free to let me know if I need to add or correct anything. Thank you so much if you choose to sign, or to help in any other way. We can't afford to sit by and do nothing about this. The cost is too high.

 Amita was a sweet 9 year old girl who loved her family. One day, she was kidnapped, taken to a city far away and put in a cage. She was forced to have sex with dozens of men per day, and brutally beaten when she cried or refused. 5 terror-filled years later, suffering from sexually transmitted disease, she died from a beating at age 14.

Amita's story is about the worst nightmare imaginable, but millions of women and girls are traded for rape every year -- one of the most evil problems in our world today. The best way to tackle it is to expose the rape traders and kill their profits. In January Avaaz members voted to make this a top priority this year, so we're beginning work across the world with expert teams, local campaigners and investigators to shut down these brutal and shadowy businesses.

Every minute this problem continues is too long. We can't bring Amita back, but every minute, two more Amitas are sold into horror. Let's stop it now -- click to donate:

Hello everyone,

I found this very useful link from tammy212's blog.

Here's a link to Belief.net's list of organizations that are working to end the slave trade:

It's horrifying that the slave trade still exists nowadays, and yet it still does. Please consider visiting these websites to see what you can do to help end slavery around the world. Thank you so much if you do choose to help.
