South Africa a human trafficking hub
"I am young -- but up here is old," says an 11-year-old girl working as a prostitute in Cape Town, pointing to her head -- one of many images in hard-hitting footage on the sex industry, screened at the opening of a conference on human trafficking in South Africa on Tuesday.

The three-day conference, "The Next Steps to Path Breaking Strategies in the Global Fight Against Sex Trafficking", is sponsored by a global coalition of non governmental organisations (NGOs) called the War Against Trafficking Alliance and the South African National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

The gathering will help to compile the agenda of a national task team constituted to combat human trafficking in South Africa, and is the fifth follow-up of a world summit held in the United States last year.

1. The Presbyterian
Church is looking into and working against children slave trades,(so many children world wide are sold as slaves and sex slaves, there are companies world wide that specialize in trips to Cambodia,Asia Africa, Europe ect... just for child sex slaves.)
How terrible sad in this day and age it still goes on, we need to spend more of our time working against it.
