Ask Craigslist to Stop Advertising Human Trafficking Outside the U.S.

Joakimprojekt`s — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 10:36:56 +0100

Online classified ad websites like Craigslist have become the largest marketers of children trafficked into the commercial sex industry. The steady stream of exploited children for sale on Craigslist has had anti-trafficking groups demanding change for years. In the past 12 months, a trafficking survivor whose pimp forced her to advertise for her own statutory rape on Craigslist at age 11 wrote an open letter to Craig Newmark asking him to remove the “adult services” section where she was sold. Cash-strapped nonprofits rejected donations from the Craigslist Foundation as tainted money. And 10,000 Change.org readers signed a petition asking Craigslist to stop profiting from child sex slavery.

My right and fight for a better world is:

Joakimprojekt`s — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:51:31 +0100

I'm an independent. I'm neither left nor right. Or both if you want. I want redistributive justice but not the Nanny State. Diversity but not tolerance of intolerance. Tradition but not inequality and bigotry. Law and order but not discrimination of minorities. Freedom but not license. Democracy promotion but not imperialism. I do believe that almost every problem in life can be reduced to a problem about HUMAN RIGHTS. Human rights are my philosophical passion.
