We had a wonderful speaker at our Talks on Spirituality
recently; her name is Stancea Vichie, M S S - a true advocate to the cause on
forced marriages and human trafficking that occurs here in Melbourne! Her talk
was was an absolute eye opener.
Although the subject was heinous and very, very
confronting it was very important to hear.
We tend to think these atrocities happen in other
countries, not our beautiful Australia. How wrong we are, it is very much
happening here.
It could be the waiter/waitress at your coffee
shop, the person at the checkout, hairdresser, or nail artist or
the people who give you beautiful massages and it’s very much alive in the sex
industry..... mind you all of these people are not trafficked, but how sad for
the ones who are.
Being aware
of this happening in our neighbourhood is the first step; please don’t close
your eyes. Report any suspicions to the Australian Federal Police, or you can get more
information from ACRATH:
People are
NOT for sale.
Thanks for sharing this Trish,
