I just found out about Stairway Foundation in the Philippines, their project for marginalized children in the Philippines and their campaign against sex trafficking is remarkable. Visit their website and learn about their project and learn how the sexually abused children’s pain and sufferings through their trilogy cartoon film which is available in DVD and though the theater which right now in Denmark and at the same time promoting the third part of the trilogy the Red Leaves Falling. 
Child sexual abuse and exploitation is determined by and is a result of demand for sex with children and access to pornographic images of children on the Internet. A significant portion of the demand lies within the Western world. After a successful premiere held last June 2 in Manila, Red Leaves Falling, Stairway’s third animated film about child pornography and child sex trafficking, will make its European debut alongside ”Cracked Mirrors,” a long-running theatre piece that portrays the deep pain and suffering children and young people go through as a result of sexual abuse and sexual exploitataition.
In collaboration with Roedkilde Gymnasium, Stairway Danmark, Kildenothilfe and private sponsors, the Break the Silence Campaign will feature in Denmark, Germany and Belgium. Danish International Development Assistance (Danida) is the main sponsor of the tour.
Cracked Mirror is a monolugue of sexually abused children. It portrays the pain and sufferings of the victims and the effects in their very young lives.
Cracked mirror is a project of Stairway Foundation which is based in the Philippines and was founded by Lars Jorgensen and American Monica Ray. The play is directed by Monica Ray.

That is a very laudable project, one that needs the support of every Filipino. Truly child trafficking and child abuse are very nauseating. It shows the dark side of human nature. Children are like angels and subjecting them to these inhuman conditions is like pulling their innocent lives straight down to hell. Thanks for the eye opener post. God bless you always.

@Mel,
Yes its good that there are people who are willing to help these children and this is a burgeoning problem that we’re facing in this internet age. That’s why we, the parents should guide our children with regards to internet activities. The Philippine lawmakers should put this Child protection bill their first priority they should because every children have a right and we should respect that.
Thanks for the visit.

Thank you for posting this in your blog. I'm Ace from Stairway Foundation. The tour we just concluded in Europe was an amazing experience, as it shows how universal the issue of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation is, and that no matter how progressive a country is, there is still a need for people to be presented a means of talking about the issue.
