'Happy' the Orange Snowman says
Today, January 11th 2013, is Human Trafficking Awareness Day.
Human trafficking is described as the illegal trade of human beings mainly for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor. Other purposes can be extraction of organs, or tissues etc.
There are many websites with tonnes of imformation about the plague that human trafficking is on humanity. Here are a few links for you.

www.un.org
Also check YouTube.
There are an estimated 27 million people affected by this problem.
Campaign Orange has been about using the colour ORANGE to bring attention to the subject.
People have been asked to wear ORANGE, today.
A few of us from work searched through our closets and took up that challenge.
