“Tráfico de Mulheres - Romper Silêncios” - Portuguese Project on Traffiking of Human Beings

Today I have an interview of a Portuguese Project to fight the Traffiking of Human Beings, which affects particularly women all around the world.

The “face” of this project is Sandra Benfica, who coordinates the project.

 “Tráfico de Mulheres - Romper  Silêncios”  - In English Trafficking of Women- Breaking the Silences.

Sandra states that with the global economic crises which countries are facing the Trafficking of Human Beings increased, in numbers “27 millions of persons which live under slavery”. The majority of slaves are “women and children”.

Sandra emphasizes that in the XXI Century people are still slaved, and this is not, unfortunately, a past reality.

The Trafficking of Woman is lucrative, as a woman can be sold out 50times a day, tells Sandra.

This business is lucrative and supports a network of crime.

The Democratic Movement of Woman (Portugal) seeks to prevent the society of the risks of this issue. “There is still a lot to do in order to give a bigger protection to the victims. The Trafficking of human beings is a far complex network, composed by Mafias.

Project Child Save

Some weekends ago I was surprised when I saw a Discovery Channel Documentary about Child Traffiking. I´ve never imagined that somebody would voluunter to rescue abducted children to return them to their families.
The Doc relates the Mission of the project mentor - Ty Ritter,  as well as the voluunters which risk their lifes in Missions to rescue abducted children.

Project Child Save do what the governments or their police forces fail to do.

"Project Child Save is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping prevent child abductions and kidnapping through education and public awareness campaigns. When these heinous acts are perpetrated against our children, Project Child Save, through it's international network, finds these abducted innocents who have been taken against their will and sold into slavery, and retrieves them, returning them to their loved ones.
Every year thousands of children are taken from their homes and sold into sexual slavery. Most of these children are teens or pre-teens, and few ever make it back to their families. The reason is simple - money. Slavery is a lucrative business, and the cost of rescuing abductees is beyond the means of most. Average families can't afford these costs, so they remain helpless as their loss overshadows the rest of their lives." *
