Togo Article

As I read this article, I continued to become more and more horrified and disgusted at the living situation that these poor people are subjected to. It bothered me even more that these terrible things are happening to many young children, especially girls. It is terrible that these young girls are being kidnapped and smuggled to different countries to do illegal labor work. What seems to be even more terrible, however, is that some families willingly sign their kids up to live through these events, not because they want to but because they must. I think this is such a rampant problem in areas such as the Togo because the poverty levels there are so dramatically high, people are turning to very desperate measures in order to have enough money just to hardly get by. In order to eradicate this domestic service nightmare, I believe that many countries need to start helping out the Togo government and others like them. It would be a lot of hard work and take a lot of energy from people, but I think that we have the power and ability to significantly change the lives of these people in a positive way and we should do the most we can to help.
