Losing
someone you love is a terrifying situation that no one would ever want to
experience. This is the sad reality our society is facing today as every one
minute, a child or a woman, becomes a victim of human trafficking. That's 500,000
head counts in 2016 alone.
Human trafficking
is a serious problem in the country and will remain one unless everyone is
called to rescue these children.
Take
action with Called to Rescue, a non-profit, worldwide organization dedicated to
the rescuing of minor children from sex trafficking, violence, and abuse.
Founded in 1988 by Dr. Cyndi Romine, who is one of the leading authorities in
the fight against children injustices, Called to Rescue is dedicated towards
combating child trafficking in three ways: prevention through education and training
of youth of all ages and their parents, dedication to the child until he/she
has experienced healing, and continuation in every aspect of child trafficking
awareness. Called to Rescue Philippines was officially registered as a
non-governmental organization (NGO) in 2009, with Mr. Anthony Pangilinan as its
Officer-in-Charge.
Child
trafficking cannot be tackled alone. That is why it is only through
collaborative partnerships with individuals and organizations can this inhumane
crime be stopped. Several advocates and social media supporters have recently
gathered for an immersion program so that they can also inform and educate
their network about the situation and how each one can help.
The activity was
organized by Called to Rescue supporters Stephanie Henares, communications
agency ComCo Southeast Asia and Boutique Burger Kitchen (BBK), a
family-oriented diner from Chef Carlo Miguel of Draft Gastropub that serves
retro-style gourmet American burgers in the Fort Strip in Bonifacio Global
City.
Defend
the defenseless; save the children from being exploited for the gain of
traffickers. A child lost to trafficking is the lost child of a devastated and
helpless parent. Don’t let that happen to anyone else.
