Take A Minute to Sign the Stop Sex Trafficking Petition

March 1, 2011 Paris B 14 Comments

Hello Ladies!

MWS as many of you know is My Women Stuff. The central theme is that of “Women” – plural.

Many of us reading this are lucky. We are safe, comfortable, and independent young women. We have a good, paying job (even if we whinge now and again) and we have friends and family around us who love and cherish and respect us. We are in a safe cocoon.

Some women however aren’t as lucky. They leave their families, friends and their home in their home country in the search for a better job and a better life. Some do it for themselves, and some do it for their families. But ultimately, they do it to earn a better life than they have back in their homeland.

And many are entrapped into the sex industry. An old but very lucrative one for traffickers. Many of these young women who leave their homes in the hope of earning more money are instead trafficked for sex, without their prior knowledge. Its a phenomenon that happens all over the world, not just in Asia.

These young women end up as prostitutes, starved and abused both sexually and physically. Many end up with HIV/AIDS. And it doesn’t happen to just women. Sex trafficking happens to young men and even children. Traffickers exploit the young and the needy for their own nefarious purposes and for profit.

And we should take a stand. We should say “Stop Sex Trafficking!” And you can make your voice heard by signing the Stop Sex Trafficking petition below. It’ll just take you 2 minutes. (If you’re reading this in a Feed Reader or email, please come over to the website to view and sign the petition 🙂 ) Let’s see if by our combined efforts we can push the number of petition signers to 5 million 😀 Yes we can!

This is a Body Shop international initiative and I would love for Malaysia to be put on the map, not as a source or transit point for sex traffickers, but as a nation of women (and men) that says “Stop Sex Trafficking!”. You can choose your own country too by using the drop down menu 🙂

I don’t post these things often, as regulars will be aware. It may not mean much to just sign a petition, but if the petition is collated from all the countries Body Shop has a presence in, and brought to the attention of the relevant international authorities, perhaps there will be more education about this so women and children will be more aware. We may not be able to stop the sex traffickers as such, but we can help educate the public about this problem and in turn, help women be more aware.

Will you help me? 🙂 I’d love for us to be able to push it to 5 million signees 😀

Filorga is now on Shopee and you can get 18% off ( Filorga is now on Shopee and you can get 18% off (code: FILOJUL09) on top of the discounted prices! Any savings is good savings I say esp with all the price hikes everywhere 😟 Until 15 July. 
They just launched the new NCEF Night Mask, an ultra-regenerating sleeping mask that promises to rejuvenate tired skin in just 7 nights! Well That sounds right up my alley! 😮‍💨
I highly recommend the Meso Mask as well for a rejuvenating, hydrating and smoothing boost to the skin. Its a good brand, that I’ve tried in the past and I’m glad we now have it here! 😊

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.

✨HELLO✨ Not everyday I wear something decent ✨HELLO✨
Not everyday I wear something decent (I still live in crummy t-shirt, shorts & sweaty athleisure most days) so it merited a photo! 😆 
I put on a full face of makeup today and when it came to my eyeshadow, I had a brain fart moment and forgot where they were! 😂 Looked through 3 drawers before I saw them and even then I thought “Did I ever have THIS MANY?!” I guess I do. And before you ask, yes they’re all expired 🫢
