Human traffickers prey on abused or neglected young people. State child welfare systems are doing what they can to help, but far too often many of these victims are falling through the cracks. Change is needed. That's why the bipartisan Strengthening the Child Welfare Response to Trafficking Act has been put in motion by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. If approved, these laws would make it easier to aid trafficking victims and help put an end to the horrific practice … [Read more...]

Shirlee Hall: FLYING FREE!
August 12, 2012 by admin
FLYING FREE I believe everyone desires to be free. The trouble lies in not understanding what freedom is. In my opinion, I will tell you what it is not. Freedom has absolutely nothing to do with manipulation of others, laws, events, countries or consciousness. Freedom is sorely lacking in our court system, medical profession, schools, home or anywhere else for that matter on this planet. I am speaking of the type of freedom that occurs and manifests through a realized soul, an awakened, … [Read more...]

April 16, 2011 by admin
Amnesty International is calling for the Guatemalan Government to act to stop the killing of women. According to official figures, 685 women were killed in 2010 alone in Guatemala amid a culture of impunity, a legacy of the 1960-96 internal armed conflict which led to hundreds of thousands human rights violations which remain unaccounted for. “Women in Guatemala are dying as a consequence of the State's failure to protect them," said Sebastian Elgueta, Guatemala researcher at Amnesty … [Read more...]

ADELE BUTLER – Women of Spirit: Keep Hope Alive!
February 12, 2011 by admin
Yes, we shall overcome—someday. I am thankful that I wasn’t living in the US while segregation and blatant racism were the norm. I cannot imagine not being able to sit wherever I wanted to on the bus or drink from any water fountain or have to go to areas that said, “For Coloreds Only”. I don’t know how I would have fared during those times. Would I have turned the other cheek or would I have stood up for my rights? I would like to think that I would have done the latter. When Jesus … [Read more...]
