I'm heading off (right now) to Not For Sale's Backyard Academy training to learn more about Human Trafficking in Australia.
On the way, I'll be picking up my shiny new posters, printed at cost from the lovely guys at Marsh Media.
I did some practice push-ups this morning with my London / Hong Kong friend Paul Aldrich (he did 100, but I was dead at 60!)
So watch out for the crazy pushups guy in Leichhardt this weekend! Here goes!
The campaign of 10,000 push-ups raised awareness about human trafficking, slavery, and forced prostitution, reaching 70,000 people directly and 750,000 in print. Show your support by learning more about the problem, and the many ways we can fight it, while sharing what you learn with your friends. Together, we can crush slavery!
"A human trafficker can earn 20 times what he or she paid for a girl. Provided the girl was not physically brutalized to the point of ruining her beauty, the pimp could sell her again for a greater price because he had trained her and broken her spirit, which saves future buyers the hassle. A 2003 study in the Netherlands found that, on average, a single sex slave earned her pimp at least $250,000 a year." - RandomHistory
