Global Solidarity

After reading the article I think the world clearly needs to do more to protect young women who are being taken advantage of throughout the world.  I think the world needs to help these young girls who simply cannot help themselves.  According to the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, we are called to help the vulnerable, work together as one family, and respect the rights and responsibilities we are given from God.  Whenever there is a natural disaster such as a tsunami or a hurricane, everyone in the United States wants to help.  So why is no one helping the young girls who are being forced into prostitution?  I don't know why there is a difference in level of concern/reaction/shock, but there definitely shouldn't be.  I believe we as Catholics are called to help these girls just as we are called to help those affected by natural disasters.
