[glow=red,2,300]Fight Child Sex Predators - Combat Child Sex Tourism [/glow] 
More than 2 million children are enslaved in global sex trade, and without increasing resources to catch predators, the abuse and suffering of these children will never end.
Help give children the best possible start in life - ask Congress to increase resources to combat child sex tourism>>
For many children around the world, their early years are far from the safe, supportive environment they require to give them the best possible start in life. As well as the threats from poverty, disease, violence and war, children face commercial exploitation by adults.
Sexual exploitation is a terrible thing. These children are severely wounded physically and emotionally. Many acquire diseases such as HIV/AIDS, and almost all experience rejection by their families and communities in addition to fear, shame and despair.
In 2003 Congress passed The Protect Act that made it illegal to sexually exploit children overseas. However, this a global problem that cannot be solved by just making it illegal. Without increased resources to support efforts to identify and prosecute perpetrators, sex trafficking of children will continue.
