Dear People, I think this public action to bring attention to the growing problem of pedophilia and other forms of child/woman abuse in India is worth endorsing.

Dear Margaret, I am pasting this mail as an appeal to all concerned residents of Goa. We are joining the Carnival and would like to gather about 200 people to show our concern for abuse of women and children because of the lack of any tourism policy in Goa.As it is a celebration we don't want to spoli the fun but still get our message through.Hope you will join us. Could you please forward this mail to those you think are concerned. Cheers Shyamalee Dear All, WISE (Women's Institute for Social Education) is a sister organization of 'Save the Children India' which is working on 'prevention of trafficking of women and children through intervention in the tourism industry'. We are working in other states like Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Orissa Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and now in Goa. Our concern is the growing incidents of child abuse and evidence of women trafficked out and even from across the border i.e. Bangladesh and Commonwealth of Independent States which can't be ignored anymore. To appeal to people in Goa that we need to be together to make Goa safe please join us in the Carnival We do not wish to move away from the festive spirit of the Carnival and so we would be providing straw hats and T-Shirts. Please do reply ASAP as we need to organize the event quickly. We look forward to see you at the Carnival. Let us get together to show that we are concerned.
