Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. Data shows that 1.8 million children are exploited in the global commercial sex trade.

 The Body Shop, in cooperation with Ecpat International Thailand, now gives all a chance to help stop this cruel action.
 
Held as the second year, the Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People campaign is calling for a concerted effort. All are invited to sign their names to protest against human trafficking at the event on August 19. Staged at Beauty Hall, Siam Paragon, from 4-6 pm, the campaign is also designed to lure celebrities' supports.

At the event, all would also enjoy the exhibition of "hands" of famous figures from various fields as well as a "hand" painting activity. Aside from a mini concert-cum-talk show by Sin Charoen Brothers, the public will also learn of new Body Shop products launched to support this year's campaign.
Like the company said on its website, concerted efforts are vital given that trafficking exists in countries all over the world, not just in the poorest countries.
