THE TRAGEDY OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING
"In developing countries, girls and women are primarily responsible for retrieving water. On average, they walk 6 kilometers (just under 4 miles) every day, sometimes multiple times a day, to provide water to their families. They must walk far from home, putting them in dangerous situations where they risk assault, abduction, and sale into human trafficking."
