The fight
against child sex trafficking
In 2013, the Freedom Project went to Cambodia with
Oscar-winning actress and UNODC Goodwill Ambassador
against Human Trafficking Mira Sorvino. The result was
"Every Day in Cambodia: A CNN Freedom Project
Documentary" - which looked at child sex trafficking in
the country.
Just this month, it was named "outstanding documentary"
by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation, winning a
Gracie Allen award.
Sorvino says the film has raised awareness of the issue,
helping to raise funds to build a school that, when
completed, will offer hope for more than 1,000 children
in the region.
“Primary and especially secondary education is extremely
important in preventing trafficking,” she says. “It
allows children to develop critical thinking skills to
be able to defend themselves from traffickers and to
have the skills that will enable them to have gainful
employment to be able to support their families in other
ways than being sexually exploited.”
But Sorvino adds that it’s not just about helping the
victims. “The demand side really needs to be addressed,”
she says. “If people weren’t trying to buy child sex it
wouldn’t be being sold.” |
ISIS says Islam justifies slavery -
what does Islamic law say?
Professor Bernard Freamon teaches courses on modern-day
slavery and human trafficking at Seton Hall University
School of Law in New Jersey and also specializes in
Islamic Legal History. He is currently writing a book,
“Islam, Slavery and Empire in the Indian Ocean World.”
The views in this article are his alone.
By Professor Bernard Freamon
In the past few months, the world has witnessed horrific
accounts of the enslavement of thousands of innocent
Yazidis and other religious minorities by ISIS partisans
in Iraq and Syria.
In a recent article in its online English-language
magazine, ISIS ideologues offered legal justifications
for the enslavement of these non-Muslim non-combatants,
stating that “enslaving the families of the kuffar
[infidels] and taking their women as concubines is a
firmly established aspect of the Shariah or Islamic
law.”
The article argues, based on a variety of Shariah
sources, that ISIS partisans have a religious duty to
kill or enslave members of the Yazidi community as part
of their struggle [jihad] against their enemies.
This argument is plainly wrong, hypocritical and
astonishingly ahistorical, relying on male fantasies
inspired by stories from the days of imperial Islam.
It is also an affront to right-thinking Muslims
everywhere and a criminal perversion of Islamic law,
particularly its primary source, the Glorious Quran. |
The purpose of this website is to focus
on the CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG and nothing else.
A reason to restore the CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG to it's rightful
place in
VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK
The topic of slavery, prejudice, bigotry or why the War
Between The States happened, etc.
can be discussed at a later date. |
Please contact Wichita City Mayor Jeff
Longwell and request that he do the right thing and
raise the
Confederate Battle
Flag
to it's rightful place in VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK. |
I would like to sign up to receive
email information and support this mission - |
|
We invite everyone to visit VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK soon. And take a young person with you so they can better understand
the price of freedom. |
I take full responsibility for my
actions -
Herb Duncan an American Veteran. (I help keep VETERANS MEMORIAL
PARK clean and presentable for visitors.)
