Free for Life Interational, a U.S. organization which stands against human trafficking, provides a Nepal rescue station called Peace Rehabilitation Center. At this center they provide border patrol which discourages sex-traffickers. They also educate young women about life, finances, and provide them with the opportunity to make a living. This base has
caught more than 25 human traffickers.
Money is still needed to help sustain the station. In order to come up with more funds, the Free for Life hosted a raise awareness event. Many girls are in a dangerous environment in Nepal. The founders of Free for Life have a strong desire to fight for these girls and rescue them from a possible harsh life.
So. What can you do? Visit their website. Read their newsletter. Read the strories rescued victims.You can even donate. The station was not expected to continue but through funding from the fundraiser event, next year will be a brighter time for this organization.
Be informed. You can change someone's life in Nepal.

Ring Leader recieves 13 years behind bars
For the article: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6395415.html
In April 2009, Maximino Mondragon, 57, was sentenced to thirteen years for being the leader of a human trafficking ring.
He used the typical tactics to attrack women to working for him in the United States. Promising jobs that did not even exist brought many victims from Central America.
In addition to the 13 years, he must pay $1.7 million to the victims for their unjust expierience.
Mondragon was one of eight leaders that were sentenced.
Some things to think about:
Is the punishment harsh or not severe enough?
The lives of over 100 people are changed forever: what else could have been done for the victims and their families?
Mondragon was the last leader to be sentenced in this ring. Is American doing their job to bring justice to this horrible situation?
