Literacy is directly connected to communication. Reading, writing and speaking is one of a ways to communicate effectively and for people to become more civilized is through better communication. Humans are communicating animal. Humans are enabling to express their feelings through language and gesture. Also, through communication people understand each other and share ideas to broaden their knowledge. If one is illiterate, they have lost a tool that distinguishes human from other animals. If people are illiterate it just can’t make that country like more civilized and advanced.
Because many of the third world countries are in Asia and many of Asian countries have numerous number of dialects of one language. It is even more important for Asian countries to be aware of literacy because they can grow stronger economically and educationally.

Background Information
“We cannot in all conscience abandon millions of adults and young people to a fate of lifelong illiteracy,” said UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura, “This is unacceptable in the 21st century.”
While the overall number of adult illiterates in South and West Asia increased between 1970 and 2000-2004, the overall number of adult illiterates in East Asia and the Pacific decreased.

Less education generally leads to lower paying jobs and Pakistan’s literacy rate in 2007 stood at 56% of the population. With 44% of the population over the age of 10 being illiterate and over 70% being below the poverty line, this leaves more than 40 million parents and their children susceptible to the general challenges of child labor and exploitation. This is why to today an estimate 1.2 million children under the age of 15 work in the carpet and rug industry in Pakistan today.

So to eliminate human trafficking, the first and foremost problem that has to be solved is corruption that exists within the state’s government and even between national borders.
SOLUTION:

To destroy corruption, laws and rules have to become stricter. Whenever there are corruption officials, none of the others should accept bribes. If they do though, they should receive dire consequences or punishments. With the laws tighter, more safety regulations and policies should be set up and toughened. For example, national security guards should be standing on every possible national border to check on immigrants to avoid illegal immigrants and people smuggling. Although human trafficking does seem like a problem that requires much effort, diligence, time, and money, it is worth it. We cannot stand idle while 600,000~ 800,000 people are being smuggled.

Ten percent of these children are on the brink of starvation. Approximately eighty five percent are thought to be malnourished where twenty nine are severely malnourished. These numbers have increased alarmingly since the last famine in 1995, causing great discomfort in other nations. More alarming numbers is where the average daily ration per person is about six hundred calories or about one fourth of what the body requires to function and maintain itself properly. Shockingly, in some areas, people receive less.North Korea has recently released data indicating that 220,000 people have died of malnutrition-related ailments. Although this was the previous North Korean famine of 1995, recent statistics have lead the most organizations to believe that another famine may strike North Korea again, leaving many to fend for themselves.

As each day passes by without food, these people have forgotten what it was like to feel full or what it was like to taste food. The children of North Korea are implicated as well. Day by day they are forced to scavenge for food, sometimes even risking their lives for a tiny morsel. We can stop all of this from happening, not all at once. We canby trying to convince canbconvincing Kim Jong Il to stop starving his people who are in need of dire aid. If he is not swayed from helping his people, the international community MUST apply more pressure on North Korea to give their people what they need. North Korea's economy is based mostly on trade amongst other nations. China is one of their biggest traders and allies.

Human trafficking is the third largest international crime after drugs and guns; however,compared to these two crimes, human trafficking is far less informed in the media today. Only by getting informed, can people react and find a solution for human trafficking. The people in the Philippines and in the rest of the world need to be educated and constantly reminded by the media about this crime in order for the people to realise that it's not a once-in-a-while matter but in any moment, twenty seven million people are being trafficked world wide today. According to Diane, Fahey, that is "every person in the states of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York being held in captivity and forced twelve to fourteen hours a day to labour in sweatshops, toil as agricultural workers, or service sexually many customers with no hope that it will ever end except by death" (Diane 1).

Torture- the act of inflicting excruciating pain, as punishment or revenge, as a means of getting a confession or information, or for sheer cruelty[1].
The 1975-79 Khmer Rouge regime carried out the most famous and devastating amount of torture on the Cambodian people.[2]The Khemer Rouge was the political party that the people voted for to lead the country after a long period of civil war.This regime started when the leader of Cambodia, Pol Pot, decided to abolish religion, property rights, and shutting down the all of the schools[3].He did this because he was a disciple of Mao Zedong, the implementer of communism in China.Unlike Mao, he believed that re-education of the people would take too long, so he decided to eliminate all those people who were educated, had passports, or were sick.He did not want to wait for Cambodians to buy into his ideas, so he took the other road of elimination and to]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:35:07 +0000 mod Cambodian Torture: Pol Pot and the Khmere Rouge http://theyoutubeproject.pbwiki.com/Cambodian+Torture%3A+Pol+Pot+and+the+Khmere+Rouge email.hidden@example.com (Josh Block) Josh Block edited Cambodian Torture: Pol Pot and the Khmere Rouge Youtube Link

Solutions
One effectivesolution to this issue would be to urge leaders of all countries to increase the social pressures against China. Leaders of some countries already did it bythreating China that they would not attend Olympic Gamesceremony until the human right issuesare solved. However, what makes this solution hard to be achieved is that the China is one of the world power which possesses strong military, econimic, and political power. This makes many nation to hesistate about breaking the friendship.
