[Canmore, AB 03-10-09] Always good to surf the internet with the world in mind. The shop is very slow as the windchill has kept the street outside in the -20’s C. So I just popped onto the UN site and rummaged around… found a new awareness campaign regarding ending human trafficking led by the UNDOC (UN Office on Drugs and Crime.) If you have read our journey on this website you will know that a human trafficking story in Calgary was the catalyst to beginning the journey towards encounter earth. Please read the below information and join the Blue Heart campaign. Lots of options including twitter and facebook… make a difference and start today!

Human trafficking is a crime that strips people of their rights, ruins their dreams, and robs them of their dignity. It is a crime that shames us all. Human trafficking is a global problem and no country is immune. Millions of victims are entrapped, and exploited every year in this modern form of slavery. To rally world public opinion against human trafficking, UNODC is launching the Blue Heart Campaign.

By wearing the Blue Heart you raise awareness of this crime and join the campaign to fight it. The Blue Heart represents the sadness of those who are trafficked while reminding us of the cold-heartedness of those who buy and sell fellow human beings. The use of the blue UN colour also demonstrates the commitment of the United Nations to combating this crime against human dignity.

Thank you for joining with us in this fight! …click on this link for more info…
