Dear Aloysius, Food for thought,indeed. Even those who do not actually want to get 'involved' can help in the rehab. of the victim/potential victim and her family by providing shelter,employment, funds for schooling,food,etc. Contact Bailancho Saad,ARZ,CRG,Hamara School,etc and find out how you can help. Virginity is not the issue...right to life with dignity is!
