As promised here are more details about the “Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People” campaign that I talked about last month.
About The Campaign:
This year a petition calling for the UK Government to offer safety and wellbeing to young victims of trafficking launches specifically calling for greater care and protection to child victims of trafficking by ensuring every child is provided with a guardian to look after them.
A system of guardianship would mean that every child victim of trafficking would have someone with parental responsibility to care and support them.
A guardian would protect each child and prevent them from facing further exploitation and harm from their traffickers.
How Can I Help?
1. Sign the petition at any The Body Shop store or online at http://bit.ly/aQRRlV
2. Spread the word – join the Facebook group (Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People), or follow @ECPATUK and @TheBodyShopUK on Twitter and change your profile picture to your handprint or hand in the ‘stop’ position to show you’ve signed the petition and supported the campaign
3. Buy the hand cream – all proceeds** from the sales of The Body Shop ‘Soft Hands, Kind Hearts’ hand cream (50ml/ RRP: £3.50) goes to ECPAT to support their projects in this country.
