"What makes this so perverse is the sickly silence of the elites, government authorities, some Church leaders, charities and development agencies which are more obsessed with bureaucratic betterment than saving the victims."
I guess we cannot really do all of it at the same time. The "all of it" here refers to a lot more other problems that our country, and the rest of the world is facing. They are all inter-connected so to speak but then again you have to take a look at each one of them, one by one, and find out how to address them. As a private individual, I am sometimes overwhelmed by these ugliness around us, but I am not losing hope for as long as I have it, I believe there is something that I can do. In my own little way. Sounds lame, dreamy and even cheeky, but sometimes we have to remember that what is essential is invisible to the naked eye.

Hundreds of thousands of wealthy males travel from rich to poor countries every year to sexually exploit and abuse children and womenin a global phenomenon known as sex-tourism. Sexual violence is common and tragically and sinfully ignored. Hundreds of thousands of women and children are trafficked and in Europe 27,600 are victims of forced labor.
