... and many other major events
The reality, as highlighted even during the London Olympics, is that major events provide great opportunities for both good and dark things to take place.
Our social justice co-ordinator, Bev, writes:
The high octane fuel is pouring out, the engines are loud & roaring, rubber is burning , road tar is melting & the air is electric - yes it is Clipsal.
The fun & excitement, watching & listening to the petrol head rip up the road as the crowd roars. The rock bands take to the stage ( even KISS, now maybe I am not that old after all ) & the side shows bring in the dollars. Whilst the Adelaide City Counsel watch the money & people pour in as they rub their hands together in delight.
However there is a dark side to this sporting event & that is what I want to ask those who will be attending to please watch for & report if you see it.
With adds like "young petite Asian women in the state for only 3 days" we are alerted to the realization that trafficking of people in to the state for the s#x trade is taking place. If you see anything that makes you wonder if this is taking place PLEASE make the call. You will never know whose live you could set free from this terrible darkness.
To report suspected human trafficking call 131 AFP ( 131 237) or report a crime at www.afp.gov.au
The first step to reforming society is awareness. This is something to be aware of in Adelaide.
