Earthquake relief
efforts in Pakistan "More lives are
buried under the rubble than can ever be counted"
Tahir and Naheed Khilji from Vision visited areas
affected by the recent earthquakes in South Asia. The destruction
and devastation are inconceivable. Many years will pass before life
returns to 'normal' for those affected by the earthquakes.

Highly vulnerable
targets for exploitation
Vision's relief efforts are focussed on women
and children who have been separated from their families, or who
lost their families in the earthquake. These groups are especially
vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking by predatory organizations
and individuals who would not hesitate to take advantage of the
traumatized and grieving survivors of the earthquakes.

Prevention of trafficking
and exploitation of vulnerable groups in the post-earthquake scenario
You can be a part of the continuing efforts to
combat trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable women and children.
Here's how:
- You can find out more about the organizations
in your area that are currently working on these issues in Pakistan.
Learn how you can contribute. Many organizations would simply
appreciate any time you can volunteer to organize efforts, increase
awareness in general about what needs to be done, and locate resources
that might be useful
- Encourage people you know to take part in relief
efforts. Rehabilitation of the earthquake affectees is the only
solution. Rehabilitation will make the affectees less vulnerable
to predators and trafficking agents
