We have not posted for quite a while, however, that doesn't mean we are not continuing in the fight against this horror ruining the lives of many youths. Recently we have seen the rise in trafficking of disabled boys. That is a major concern nowadays as well. We hope to build a youth hostel for disabled boys in SE Asia. Disabilities are a burden on any family but more so for poverty-stricken ones. They are more prone to let their boys be taken. It is a travesty! The damage they suffer from this abuse makes them even more disabled. Now emotionally crippled as well! If given an education and a skill many of these boys can make a decent living for themselves.

The above is the title of an article that came out in Agence France- Pressed August 30th.
Thousands signed petitions after local council ordered sisters raped and paraded naked as punishment for their brother eloping with a married woman. This family of a "Dalit" caste considered "untouchable" was forced into hiding after their brother eloped with a woman from a dominant caste. The sisters 15yrs and 23 yrs have been in hiding. These village councils are highly influential and have sanctioned "honor killings" and other atrocities. One of the sisters filed a petition and awaits the verdict from a Supreme Court in Uttar Pradesh.
In other news in Nepal the Central Investigation Bureau says they plan to file a case against two traffickers who allegedly ferried 27 Nepali women to India last summer. Maiti Nepal is seeking maximum compensation to victims of trafficking in Nepal.
