In response to Thailand’s status as the world leader in commercial child sexual exploitation ...
In response to the estimated 200,000 children being warehoused in Thai brothels with the full knowledge of the Thai government ...
"In days gone by, and possibly even today in many instances, the view has prevailed that

deaf ears or closed minds."
--From the Office of the President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, 29 August 1996
