Disturbing underbelly

In the last 24 hours I have been shaken up by two docos, one aired on 4 Courners last night called 'Dancing boys" this is about a disturbing trend in northern Afganistan where boys are abducted to dance for men and be abused at will. Watch it online here and be informed.

Secondly this morning saw a short to a doco that was executively produced by George Clooney about child prostitution in the US. Will hopefully be able to view the whole doco when its released in Australia. The trailer is below.



There are some extremely disturbing trends emerging world wide in trafficking, child slavery and sexual abuse of children. We need to find ways and engage in action to see this come to end. Using our voice to speak out is only the beginning.

Peace
