HELP STOP AND INCREASE THE PUNISHMENT FOR CHILD TRAFFICKING |
To: U.S congressStop child trafficking. It is a cruel act and child traffickers should be sent to prison for life. No child deserves to be sold and traded like objects for sex and exploitation. The punishment for child trafficking should be raised from 15 years to life imprisonment. Children as young as 5 are trafficked from there homes thinking they will have a better life not knowing they are really going to be used as sex and labor slaves never to see their friends and family again.
We need to stop this abuse and rescue innocent children who will be mentally and physically affected for probably the rest of their lives.
"Some of the causes of child traffiking are:
* lack of opportunities for employment
* organized crime
* regional imbalances
* economic disparities
* social discrimination
* corruption in government
* political instability
* armed conflict
* Profitability
* Growing deprivation and marginalization of the poor
* Insufficient penalties against traffickers
* According to the UN a major factor that has allowed the growth of sexual trafficking is "Governments and human rights organizations alike have simply judged the woman guilty of prostitution and minimized the trafficker's role.
* Driven by demand; demand is high for prostitutes and other forms of labor in host countries; therefore there is a very profitable market available to those who wish to become handlers."
Please be a part of this fight against CHILD TRAFFICKING and help raise awareness and the punishment to life in imprisonment
