Welcome to AlixHenning.com. My goal is to generate publicity for myself as a model while shedding a bit of light on the ignorance that plagues both me and the general population. Here are a couple topics you might consider looking into:
- In America there are an estimated 8 million people with eating disorders, most of them being young woman. The suicide rate is 75% greater for a young woman with an eating disorder.
- The busiest slave trade know today is that of young girls 9-16 years of age, from Nepal to Bangladesh for prostitution. Estimated 5,000-12,000 girls are being trafficked each year with as many as 200,000 girls currently residing in Indian brothels. While 50% are lured over by promises of jobs and marriage, 40% are sold by there families and another 10% are kidnapped.
- In the US there are over half a million children in foster care each year
- In the US 90% of prostitutes were sexually abused as children, many of them by a relative. 2/3 US prostitutes begin before they are 16 years old.
- More then 45 million Americans don't have health insurance.
- In Africa and South East Asia alone, more then 14 million children die a year from "diseases of poverty", preventable and treatable for minimal cost. A measles vaccine cost 26 cents while acute malaria can be treated for pennies.
