I did nothing today to celebrate this special day for children. It is true that I called for my nieces... that gave me a fresh air on this rainy day. This brief conversation brought me back the happiness that I had experienced during the 1st of June on my infancy... a feeling that I still feel yet, almost on every day which I look to childrens's eyes.
Unfortunately the Adults still not understand yet that the FUTURE is NOW... and still neglects the childrens arround the world.
Trafficking in People Listed Third for Profit World-WideThe definition of Human Trafficking is as follows: Victims who are forced,defrauded or coerced into labor or sexual exploitation without giving the victim a choice. Each year somewhere between 600,000 and 800,000 mostly women and children, are trafficked across national borders. This does not count the millions who are bought and sold in their own countries.

There are around 10 million or more women and children who are living at risk of violence daily somewhere in the world because of illegal slavery.
NEW YORK, May 21 (UPI) -- Recruitment of child soldiers hasn't stopped and the military-controlled Myanmar is the worst offender, the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers says.
The group in its 2008 Child Soldiers Global Report said, despite some progress, "efforts to end the recruitment and use of child soldiers are too little and too late for many children."
The report said the number of armed conflicts in which children are involved was down from 27 in 2004 to 17 in 2007. However, tens of thousands of children remain in the ranks of non-state armed groups in 24 countries.
Myanmar's armed forces, engaged in long-running counterinsurgency operations, has thousands of children, some as young as 11 years old, the report said. Children were also used by government forces in Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, and Yemen, the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers said.
In Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and the Palestinian territories, teenagers have been used in suicide attacks, the coalition's report said.
The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers claimed Palestinian children have been used as human shields by the Israeli army, while a few British under-18s were deployed in Iraq up to mid-2005.
