Bollywood
hottie
and
former
Miss
Universe
lara
dutta
is
now
going
to
present
documentaries
on
human
trafficking.
The
show
is
going
to
hit
MTV
EXIT
in
September
2007.
Along
with
documentaries
on
human
trafficking
the
show
will
also
project
fictional
short
films
and
a
series
of
public
service
announcements,
throughout
2007-2008.
The
programme
to
be
anchored
by
Lara
will
showcase
South
Asian
documentaries
featuring
some
heart-wrenching
stories
of
survivors
of
trafficking
from
Nepal,
Bangladesh
and
India.
The
documentaries
will
insist
on
informing
people
on
how
we
can
prevent
and
break
the
chain
of
human
trafficking.
Describing
the
threat
of
trafficking
the
Vice
Chairman
of
MTV
Networks,
Bill
Roedy,
said
"Human
trafficking
has
become
a
critical
human
rights
issue
facing
young
people
across
Asia
and
the
Pacific.
"Victims
are
subject
to
horrendous
abuses,
including
rape
and
torture,
with
women
and
girls
particularly
affected.
Education
is
the
key
to
prevention.
MTV
EXIT
is
part
of
our
commitment
to
help
highlight
issues
affecting
young
people
in
Asia
and
across
the
world."
Launching
a
multi-lingual
website
and
a
stream
of
live
events
on
awareness
and
prevention
of
human
trafficking
are
also
parts
of
the
proposed
programme.
It's
nice
to
see
the
UNFPA
Goodwill
Ambassador
of
2001,lara
dutta
associate
herself
so
with
social
and
humane
issues
and
actually
keeping
the
promises
she
made
during
her
beauty
queen
days.
