    Pitong Pinoy Profiles: Jean Enriquez

    Screengrab from Yahoo! Southeast Asia video

    Jean Enriquez fights for the victims of human trafficking. "Since I was 13, I've been a human rights activist," she revealed.

    According to Enriquez, there are so many areas in the Philippines where human trafficking happens. She notes that they found a significant number of cases in Western and Southern Mindanao. She said, "It's a very profound problem."

    Enriquez currently heads the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women — Asia Pacific. Jean Enriquez says that the group is a worldwide organization that "fights all kinds of sexual abuse on women from rape, to pornography, to trafficking (and) to prostitution."

    Jean said the group also lobbies for the government to change laws for the protection of women.

    As for the victims of human trafficking, Enriquez hopes that they will find their "voice" and that they find it in themselves to recover from their horrible experience.

      This crimes against women and children will continuously happen because the sanctions against the offenders are considered light or weightless since the inapplicability of death penalty provision. Recently the accused priest committing the crime of rape to a certain domestic helper of the convent. With the sanction of death for such offense the priest would tend not to proceed to his lusting desire. So, death penalty for such crime or alike crimes would help the people follow the trail of life in good moral.

      Bago matapos ang buwan ng Agosto, gusto ko po ipagmalaki sa lahat ang aming nanay...

      Hindi kami sa kanya nanggaling pero parang tunay na ina kung kami ay kanyang unawain.

      Nay Jean Enriquez... hindi po ako magsasawang magpasalamat sa inyo, sa pag uunawa, pagtanggap, pagyakap at pagmamahal... Marami buhay ang nabago at nababago ninyo...

      Ang YSAGE - Palawan po ay bunga ng pagsusumikap ni Nanay Jean na maabot ang mga kabataan - na mabigyan kami ng liwanag. Binigyan nia po kami ng mga bagong mata upang tingnan ang tunay na kalagayan ng kababaihan sa lipunan at bagong puso na sa gayon ay makapagbigay lingap din kami sa iba tulad ng ginawa nia sa amin.

      Apat na taon na ang YSAGE-PALAWAN at nakagawa na ng 5 echo camps... sa bawat camp, umaabot ng hanggang 30 kabataan ang nakakadalo... Ang bawat kabataan na ito ay nabigyan ng pagkakataon na mabago. Ang sarap isipin na ang bawat kabataan na ito ay may pagkakataon din na magmulat ng iba pang tao. Sa ganitong pamamaraan, ang mundo na may pagkapantay-pantay ay abot kamay lamang!

      Dahil dyan nay, Ikaw ang BAYANI ng aming siglo!

      I PERSONALLY ADMIRED & THANK GOD YOU FOR BEING CONCERN TO WOMEN, THE WEAK AND VULNERABLE GROUP..ESPECIALLY THIS GENEARATION ... WHERE A LOT OF DISPLACE FAMILIES AND NO FATHER OR HUSBAND WHO ARE STRONG ENOUGH , RESPONSIBLE AND GOD FEARING THAT WILL PROTECT THEIR OWN FAMILY.. DUE TO BROKEN MARRIAGES, KIDS SUFFER AND GO ASTRY NOT WELL GUIDED... PARENTS OR MOTHER MUST WORK FOR THEM, & GO OTHER PLACES AND KIDS ARE LEFT BEHIND OF THEMSELVES...AND THESE HUDLUMS & GREED TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM WHO ARE INNOCENT ... HOPE MORE LIKE YOU WILL JOIN A GROUP TO HELP ORGANIZED A WORK YOU STARTED .. HENCE MORE STRONGER AND WIDER COVERAGE...
