Fighting the New Slave Trade
.
Dr David Barrett estimates that over
150,000 Christians currently die each
year as a result of their faith - a similar
figure to the tragedy.
And Salvation Army figures reveal that
200,000 Nepali girls under 18 in the sex
trade in India; experts estimate that
10,000 children aged between six and
14 are virtually enslaved in brothels in
Sri Lanka. The Thai Government reports
that 60,000 Thai children are sold into
prostitution - independent non-govern-
mental organisation (NGO) experts
estimate the figure to be closer to
800,000.
May the tragedy somehow break this
trade, much of it operating for western
tourists in the affected beach areas of
these countries. MORE: http://xrl.us/eqde
