All very confronting. Short of national action, ie trade sanction or aid tied to improved statistics, what can we do? We can give money to charities that help.

Oxfam, TEAR Australia, Plan Australia, Women for Women International, Unicef, World Vision, Medecins Sans Frontier. Pick a charity and give!
