Uprooted
Burma (Myanmar) has been ruled by the Military Junta since 1962.
It is unclear how many people have fled this country in fear of their lives, in Malaysia today, UNHCR claims to have 57000 registered Refugees. For every one registered there are at least two others.
60% of the number of Burmese women who are trafficked into other countries for use in the sex industry are under the age of 18.
Rape is being used as a method of Ethnic cleansing inside Burma.
Being uprooted from everything you know, not knowing where you are or what is going to happen to you, not knowing where your family are or if they are alive. How would it feel?
The world must change and Trafficking must be stopped.
