ENDING TRAFFICKING OF CHILDREN [AND WOMEN]

Well, along with the ending child slavery, I want to add some links and coops, sewing coops, who are working to end trafficking of children [sex trafficking], and a really good blog I want you all to look at,

[btw, this is one of the huge reasons I strongly oppose the 'parading virgin girls' around in churches for these 'sicko' purity balls, because in the trafficking world, the demand for 'virgins' is the fuel that feeds the trafficking of young children.]

Anyway, for one 'coop' that is working using Quilting to combat trafficking, see blog here:

Beautiful quilts btw!

I mostly do embroidery-reconstruction [recycled clothes/materials that we, find in the trash, because of the ridiculous amounts of waste-excess in this nation, yes, we're what they call, dumpster divers, LOL, if it keeps it out of landfills, why not? Besides, it just makes sense, and you'd be surprised what Americans throw out,

We [my family] have found designer clothes [with no stains or holes], coats, baby items, there is just a lot of waste, and the more I study 'reconstructing clothing' the more I am learning new and creative ways to use what we have or find.

There has been no interest where I live to start an embroidery coop, too many just want to make profit for themselves, especially due to the economy, or for many, its simply a hobby because they don't have time with work and all. So instead, I'll list here, as many coops that I can find,

and if you find one in your area, join up.

Solidarity,
