SAVE THE ORANGUTAN
Presently in Boreno (Indonesia and Malaysia) and Sumatra the Orangutan population is down to around 69,000. This may seem like a fairly large number but when you discover you are losing 50 orangutans a week and at the present rate of killing there will be none left by 2026, you realise why the united Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), have raised the alarm to an unprecedented level with a new report: Last stand of the Orangutan: A State of Emercency.
The reason for this panic and devastation unforunately lies close to home: PALM OIL. Please join use in asking Supermarkets to ensure that the Palm Oil used in their products comes from Orangutan friendly, sustainable, non- destructive sources.
And lets urge them to join the roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.

IHRC reissues safety advice and information on reporting hate attacksPlace Webcams in U.S. Slaughterhouses
Place webcams for video survellience in slaughterhouses and factory farms to watch for improper procedures and inhumane handling of animals.
Voluntary surveillance would be appropriate, as undercover investigations have found cows being chained, dragged, rolled, kicked and jabbed in an effort to make them stand and be led into a chute for slaughter. Workers prodded the animals with forklifts and shot powerful streams of water into their nostrils to induce them to move. These are just a few of the abuses out of thousands.
Video cameras are an excellent, economical supplement or alternative to hiring, training, and staffing more USDA inspectors. Video cameras would help create more transparency in animal agriculture and would likely result in better accordance with the laws protecting human health and preventing animal cruelty.

No More Violence Against Women And Children !
Millions of women and children around the world are assaulted, beaten, raped, mutilated or even murdered in what constitutes appalling violations of their human rights.
Acid throwing, Breast ironing, Bride burning, Dating abuse, Domestic violence, Domestic violence and pregnancy, Dowry death, Honor killing, Female genital mutilation, Gishiri cutting Infibulation, Foot binding, Forced abortion, Forced pregnancy, Forced prostitution, Human trafficking, Marital rape, Murder of pregnant women, Rape Pregnancy, Sati Sexual slavery, Sexual violence, Violence against prostitutes ...
All too often, perpetrators go unpunished. Women and children are afraid to speak out because of a culture of impunity. We must fight the sense of fear and shame that punishes victims who have already endured crime and now face stigma. It is the perpetrators who should feel disgraced, not their victims.
We can no longer close our eyes and tolerate this horrible situation. All women and children from all over the world have the right to be respected and be treated as they should !
Every single signature can make a difference for all the women and children all over the world suffering from violence. Together we are strong and we shall make sure "their" voices are heard !
Thank you so much,
Henk Lefevre.
