This horror story is a reality for 1.2 million girls and boys who were kidnapped and solid into slavery or prostitution this year. And the rocketing demand for cheap labor and child prostitution means that more children will be trafficked in 2010 if we don't make protecting them a global priority.
Young girls are particularly vulnerable, and they are frequently sold into prostitution, trafficked as "mail order brides" or raped by their "employers."
We must do more to end this appalling abuse of children. Sign the petition urging Secretary of State Clinton to protect children and help end human trafficking.
Dear Secretary of State Clinton,
This year 1.2 million children were kidnapped or sold into slavery or prostitution. Every girl and boy should be protected from exploitation, but right now children around the world, especially young girls, are daily victims of sexual violence, forced labor and imposed marriage.
[Your comment will be inserted here]
I urge you to continue your important work to protect children from human trafficking by:
* Spreading awareness of human trafficking by including it as a key part of upcoming speeches and responding to tragedies in the news;
* Encouraging the work of organizations and countries that are making progress in ending human trafficking; and
* Discussing this issue with key leaders of countries who are known for human trafficking violations, as well as other forms of violence against women and girls, and insisting that these leaders follow the recommendations in the 2009 Trafficking in Persons Report.
Thank you for your support and please continue your commitment to end human trafficking.
Sincerely,
[Your name here]
