Human trafficking is crime against humanity. ASEAN Member States increasingly recognize the need for an effective and coordinated response to trafficking persons.

The TIP HEROES FORUM aims to provide practical insights into what are being done by non-governmental agencies in the region to combat the horrendous crimes against women and girls and the urgent need for multi partnership strategies to be formed in the war against human trafficking.

You are invited to HOME's TIP Heroes Forum 2011, to be held on November 26th, 2011. Come learn more about what every day heroes in the region are doing to combat the evils of trafficking!

BOOK CLUB : THE HELP

Monday, 21 November 2011
7:00pm to 8:30pm | UN Women Office, 2 Nassim Road

* Free of Charge for UN Women Members. $5.00 will apply for NON-Members.

The next Book Club Meeting will be a discussion on Kathryn Stockett's "The Help".

Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step. Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.

Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.

Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.

Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times.Show More And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.

In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women-mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends-view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

Please RSVP to rsvp@unifem.org.sg with your Full Name, Membership Number, Contact Details and the number of seats required. Please feel free to bring your friends and family along for a cozy discussion!
