Petition to End Trafficking of Children and Youth

I got this email in my inbox the other day:

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO END SEX TRAFFICKING OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH
Goal of 1.5 million petition signatures close at hand

In partnership with ECPAT International, The Body Shop launched the Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Youth Campaign to raise awareness and funds for this issue. It also launched a petition to urge governments worldwide to develop a national plan of action ensuring a coordinated response for prevention and protection of young victims.

We are coming near to the end of the petition portion of the campaign. We have amassed more 1.3 million signatures in North America.  Over the next several weeks we are urging anyone who has not signed the petition to do so. Our goal is to reach 1.5 million signatures. Beyond Borders, in partnership with The Body Shop, will be presenting the petition to government officials. We will keep you posted on when and where that will take place.

Please help us by passing this message on to friends and family. This small, easy action will send a big message to our government that we want to see action on this issue now.
