Hughes against human trafficking

JAKARTA: Popular television host Dewi Hughes has a new role:
national spokesperson in a campaign to eliminate the trafficking
of Indonesian women and children.

"Now I have a new dream, to end the real-life nightmare of
human trafficking," said the host of Mimpi Kali Yee! (It Might Be
A Dream) during the official announcement of her new role on
Friday.

With the new role, Hughes will soon travel to villages where
women and children trafficking is likely to happen, like in
Indramayu, West Java.

"I will hold dialogs with parents, urging them not to send
their children to work before they reach at least 18 years of
age," the 32-year-old said.

She also called on people not to ignore cases of human
exploitation practices. "We should work hand-in-hand to stop the
trafficking of women and children," she said. --JP
