THIS IS MY WHY

 

A21 (formerly The A21 Campaign) entered my life in 2012 whilst making plans to set up my own Foundation for abused women and children.  

A21 delivers everything and more I hoped to achieve with my own Charity; I have vowed and am committed to do everything possible to show solidarity and support. 

Although I would prefer to be on the front line, physically rescuing these young adults and children, I realise this requires specialist training.   There is a 'Lara Croft' in me!

Paying a monthly subscription, I also give an extra 10% of my annual income to this amazing cause, whilst sharing awareness of Human Trafficking wherever and whenever I can .  A substantial team is required to accomplish a massive mission - exciting and daunting but we can do this!

No ONE person can do everything, but everyONE can do something! If you would like to learn more of how you can help, please contact me on the email address below.

In the meantime, I constantly keep the awareness very much alive and in the public eye because, although it makes for uncomfortable reading, take a moment to imagine what a ‘victim’ is going through and because this is such a global epidemic, imagine if it was someone you know, someone you love, someone like YOU!

This incredible lady ANURADHA KOIRALA and her Maiti Nepal Organisation is most definitely MY HEROINE, a lady I do my best to emulate and hope to meet in person one day!

 Anuradha Koirala is a Nepalese social activist and the founder and director of Maiti Nepal – a non-profit organization in Nepal, dedicated to helping victims of sex trafficking. Currently, Maiti Nepal operates a rehabilitation home in Kathmandu, as well as transit homes at the Indo-Nepal border towns, preventative homes in the countryside, and an academy in Kathmandu. As the name suggests, Maiti Nepal has been a refuge for women rescued from the brothels in India. The women can stay in the homes run by Maiti Nepal until they are able to return to their homes, or if not accepted by their parents and society, they may stay until they become able to live on their own. Between 1993 and 2011, she and her organization have helped rescue and rehabilitate more than 12,000 women and girls.

So you have to join hands, you have to take each child as your daughter. Soon you will feel their sorrow and then you will feel the strength that comes out of you to protect them.” - Anuradha Koirala
