April is Child Abuse Prevention month

The month of April is International Day Against Child Slavery and child abuse prevention month throughout the world. I hope the unfortunate and serious allegation that Rubina Ali’s father attempt to sell the child help to raise awareness to child abuse and maltreatment everywhere especially in India, Haiti (restavek) and the child Camel Jockeys in Middle Eastern countries.



If Rubina Ali were to be sold, she would be one of the many Indian children that are sold by their families because the parents are extreme poor. Unfortunately, these children don’t end up in posh homes such as Madonna’s or in a home with the average loving parents. Too often, children end up as camel jockeys and are forced into other forms of Child labour and are not always lucky to be rescued by the Ansar Burney Trust.



Let’s raise awareness and help prevent Child-Abuse and fight child Child-Slavery.
