Church of Scientology of San Diego, Human Rights Campaign


The Public Affairs Director of the Church of Scientology of San Diego is working to promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to combad trafficking in children for sexual purposes in his city.

Here's a bit from a press release he posted recently:

Across the globe today, an estimated 1.2 million children are trafficked each year as a commodity for exploitative labor or sex slavery, at any given time over 300,000 child soldiers — some as young as 8 — are exploited in armed conflicts, and 115 million primary school-aged youth are out of school. The need for broad-scale human rights education could not be more urgent.

I think it is really admirable that he and his church are doing this.
