Human trafficking is closer to home than you think. Together with illegal drugs and arms, it’s one of the top three largest criminal industries in the world.*
From the 26th of July, The Body Shop will be raising awareness of the horrors of human trafficking, which affects over 1.2 million children and young people each year. Here, we find out the facts about this widespread human rights atrocity and how you can help …
In its second year, The Body Shop’s Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People is being run in conjunction with Child Wise, Australia’s leading international child protection charity working to prevent child abuse and exploitation in Australia, Asia and the Pacific.
The Body Shop and Child Wise believe that a key step towards stopping this modern-day slave trade is to raise public support, which, in turn, encourages governments to take action and effect change.

Nurture your skin with Soft Hands, Kind Heart Hand Cream, which in turn helps provide protection and care to children and young people trafficked or at risk. All profits from the sale of the hand cream will be donated directly to Child Wise.
Soft Hands, Kind Heart Hand Cream has a protective formulation that leaves hands silky soft to touch, and with a non-greasy formula which sinks into skin to moisturise and condition. It is infused with soothing angelica extract to help soothe and soften the skin. It leaves a delicate lingering fragrance, featuring notes of fresh citrus, elegant floral middle notes and a warm amber background. It also features Community Trade olive oil from Italy, sourced through the unique The Body Shop fair trade programme.
It retails for $13.95 with all profits donated directly to Child Wise. It will be available at The Body Shop stores, online and through The Body Shop At Home.
The Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People Campaign is being run from 26 July 2010 for three weeks.
