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
