 Summary:
Police rescued two missing teenage girls who were take to New Orleans by alleged human traffickers. St. Landry Sheriff's office receive  information on 24 Oct. 16- years-old girl went missing. The girl was reported had been communicating with unidentified man.The next day, investigators found the missing 16-year-old in a motel in New Orleans East with 22-year-old Andre Johnson Jr., who was arrested for an unrelated warrant out of West Baton Rouge Parish. The girl reported has been physically abused. Johnson has since been charged with Trafficking of children for sexual purposes.

The second investigation began on Sept. 29 when the SVU found a 17-year-old girl in a New Orleans hotel room. She had been missing for seven weeks. Investigators say the 17-year-old was forced to engage in commercial sexual activity during that time.
After a month-long investigation, an arrest warrant was issued for Rodney Lavalais Jr., for Trafficking of children for sexual purposes. These two cases prove how vital it is for law enforcement  but across the country to remain focused on combating human trafficking.

Reflection:
There are still many cases of human trafficking . Most of the victim are child and women. This trafficking leads to sexual purposes business. Traffickers are commonly have stronger networking than government. The one and only who can save victims from trafficking are  the nearest community. If there are human trafficking known people should report it as quick as possible.

Diwali Goodwill Alive on Gujarat-Pakistan Border

Source

Summary :

Pakistan has refused sweets as goodwill from India because of recent tension between both. But it is different in Gujarat they have been exchanging sweets as a tradition since the 1971 war. This tradition hasn't been broken. The exchanging happens in three places Banaskantha, Kutch and Gandhinagar — on the Gujarat stretch of the border.

Sweets are exchanged as a gesture of goodwill and peace between BSF and Pak Ranger. The sweets are accepted on behalf of the BSF director general, additional direct-general, inspector general and commandant. Sweets are exchanged at some border posts.
There have been over 60 ceasefire violations from the Pakistan side after the Army's surgical strike in the intervening night of September 28 and 29. Both sides have been trading mortar shells and small arms fire along the LoC and IB in Jammu and Kashmir.

Reflection:
 It is a very good tradition that both side are still doing a great tradition such as exchange goodwill even though they are in war. This tradition can be established because both side agreed to pact of exchanging. this tradition shouldn't be broken.
I hope exchange goodwill is a begining the end of the tension between India and Pakistan.
