partial don't you think that's a tad condescending? Hmm

Do you have anything to say about the data or are you just concerned that posters on the thread don't know how to use data?

It is a very useful site and I applaud its objectives.

However, I would be careful about citing this site as a reliable source in a serious discussion. Not because I doubt the sincerity of the site holders, just that it obviously has an agenda (albeit one that we hope all would support)

Instead, look to the sources of their data. I'm sure they will be there.

Thanks for sharing! 2/3rds of child trafficking victims are girls too.

There's a handy pdf to bookmark here: www.girlsdiscovered.org/media/v_girls_count-20140912_134102/girls_count/pdf/Girls_Discovered_Facts_Final.pdf
