I've been reading a book called, "Good News About Injustice," by Gary A. Haugen, and it talks about all the injustices in our world, and what WE can do about them. One problem that really struck me was child prostitution. In our world today, more than one million NEW children are forced into prostitution every year, and this happens all over the world. Just think about this, let it sink in - one MILLION kids - that's more than the entire population of Fiji, one-sixth of the population of Laos, or one-fifth of Denmark. Even like that, it's still a big number that's hard to comprehend. 
But there's more - that's only the new kids every year. There are millions more who have been locked up in brothels for years already.
These kids are kidnapped off the streets. They get no choice, they have no say, and they can do nothing about it.
What this book goes on to say is that we CAN make a difference. What appears at first to be impossible, we find possible (the word itself says 'I'm possible').
"One voice can make a song; one life can change the world."
I have only just started to research what IS actually happening in our world; what's happening to children who have no say. If anyone is interest in this, or has any sites that might prove useful, I would greatly appreciate you help and input.
God Bless,
Steffi
