Does what's happening in the world affect you?   As politicians and pundits are fond of saying,  "We live in a global world."   So if you're wondering how child labor or female sexual slavery in Bangladesh affect you, then all you need to do is look at the tags from the material items you've just bought recently.  Here are links to some groups that are trying to make a difference.
 

RAWA -- Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan
RAWA is the oldest political/social organization of Afghan women struggling for peace, freedom, democracy and  women's rights in fundamentalism-blighted Afghanistan.

Anti- Slavery International
Did you know that people are still bought and sold like chattel?  Many of us thought slavery was
extinct,  yet approximately 240 million people world-wide are still enslaved.  Anti-slavery international
tries to create policy and information that stops this violence.
