Lately what's been on my mind when I'm not consumed with my own little problems is Human Trafficking. I'm sure some of you have heard me talk about it. But it's a terrifying problem that affects millions of people around the world, most of whom are women and children. Experts are saying that modern-day slavery is a bigger issue now than it was in the 19th century. How scary is THAT?! So I've been looking around online, trying to find a good organization to get involved with, and I discovered this one. http://intlprincess.org/What they do is this: "International Princess Project advocates for women enslaved in prostitution, helping them restore their lives and empowering them to live free. Through various initiatives, International Princess Project both helps partner organizations increase capacity and provides direct support for women in need.--International Princess™ Project currently implements two initiatives working towards the vision of restoring hope and dignity to women formerly enslaved in prostitution. The PUNJAMMIES™ initiative creates a self-sustaining enterprise which provides needed jobs for women and the resources for their healing and restoration. The Advocacy initiative raises awareness in the United States of the problem of prostitution and human trafficking around the world and helps mobilize people to take action."So basically these women are rescued from forced prostitution and given jobs making these Punjammies. They are finally given a choice in how to survive. I don't have much money, so I'm just trying to spread the word. The pajama pants are actually quite cute and only $30 a pop. Which is a great price point for a Christmas gifts!
