Insight on the Issue

• Every day, in many countries of this world,
  children are bought and sold, transported against
  their will, and forced into lives of
  prostitution, slave labor and utter misery.
  Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human
  Rights
• The more you learn about how the most innocent
  and vulnerable among us are savaged by these
  crimes, the more impossible it becomes to look
  the other way. Colin Powell, former US
  Secretary of State
• Never doubt that a small group of committed
  citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the
  only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead
