Be A Campaign Hero - I Am!

Last April 29, The Body Shop, Philippines posted this on their page:


I have signed this petition months ago, and I totally agree and support with The Body Shop's advocacy against sex trafficking of children and young people. On one trip to the store, I brought home with me 10 petition forms for my family to sign. I wanted to raise awareness, and I know that my family would be supportive of me. With that, I got my Mom, sisters, housekeeper, boyfriend, and even doctor to sign the petition forms. 10 might not be a large number, but it is also significant because they could further spread the news about The Body Shop's campaign.

Here are some pictures of the petition form:

Your signature REALLY can make a difference.
You may sign the petition forms in store or online at www.thebodyshop.com.ph/stopsextraffickingpetition.

Working alongside ECPAT, this petition calls upon our government to give children greater protection against trafficking. The goal of this petition is to put more funds to the anti-trafficking campaign to improve law enforcement and to provide services to victims.

This petition will be presented to the government to represent a show of hands by everyone who signed this petition and supported this cause.

Yesterday, I submitted the signed petition forms and got a Badge of Honor! :)

This is truly something to be proud of!

You can help spread awareness, too! From May 1-31 2011, bring at least 10 signed petition forms to the following stores and get our Be A Campaign Hero badge: SM Mall of Asia, Robinsons Ermita, Glorietta 3, Rockwell, SM Megamall, Robinsons Galleria, Greenhills, Eastwood 2, Alabang Town Center, SM City.

I want to share a nice song with you. The Click Five partnered with MTV EXIT to produce a music video to their track "Don't Let Me Go." With a message of hanging on this video aims to raise awareness about human trafficking and the role we can all play in breaking the chain.



Since this is a global campaign, The Body Shop's objective is to join hands with thousands of signatories around the world by taking our petitions to the United Nations. I hope more people sign this petition and support this cause. Let's create a movement and help stop sex trafficking not only in the Philippines, but also the world.

Love,
Helen

    It's sad to see that some of the clips came from the Philippines. :/
