Mozambique or Bust: Watch it now

CNN’s Freedom Project followed a small group who came up with a bright idea to help former sex slaves - and the people who helped them realize their dream.

Their idea – ship unwanted bras from the U.S. to Mozambique where they can be sold in markets and help provide the rescued slaves with a wage.

Across the U.S. women have discarded bras in bedroom draws. In Mozambique the same item is a luxury. As the idea took off and the group hit problems shipping their cargo, others stepped in to help.

Now you can watch the entire “Mozambique or Bust” documentary, narrated by Mira Sorvino, an Oscar winner and goodwill ambassador to combat human trafficking for the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime online here in three parts.

How you can help

    Make sure there are no underwire bras. Make sure the bra is not too tight. Take the bra off if not needed to work at a job, etc. This is old news that tight bras cause lymph node problems.

    Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I'm very glad to see such magnificent info being shared freely out there.

So allow me to reword that: Thnx to the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending enough time to go over this, I am strongly over it and adore reading much more about this topic. If you can, as you grow expertise, can you mind updating your blog to comprehend details? It is extremely helpful for me. Big thumb up for this short article!
