Today, I found an amazing website that contains petitions about relevant social and environmental issues, change.org. This is one of the most comprehensive sites I have found which is helping build momentum in positive social change by letting companies and government official know that we do care through various petitions. One topic that the website addresses is human trafficking. This past summer I was fortunate enough to travel to Thailand to work with the Development and Education Program for Daughters and Communities (DEPDC), which supports children who are at risk or rescued from human trafficking. Human trafficking can include the sex trafficking industry or just exploitive labor in general. To learn more about my experience at DEPDC, check out my ISV Thailand blog. You can also sign petitions at change.org to be a part of a movement to hold big brands such as Hershey's accountable for the labor they use to harvest their cocoa beans.
