Yes, sexual exploitation ruins the life of many people, including men, women, and children across the world, and this is why it is crucial to spread awareness and fight against this vice. Every effort counts and the first step is to lift the lid on silence which creates the atmosphere that allows sexual exploitation to thrive.

Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day
Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day is celebrated annually on April 22. The day honors all Girl Scout volunteers working as leaders and mentors of these girls who at such ages need good guidance. Girl Scout leaders are adult volunteers in Girl Scouting and serve as guides and mentors. These selfless people help girls develop confidence, learn important skills, and introduce them to new experiences that set Girl Scouts on their way to achieving their potential. They make exceptional contributions to the development of the Girl Scout movement, serving as role models. Although their efforts are always appreciated, Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day has been set aside to publicly acknowledge the important roles they play.
