''Stop Blood Diamonds''
is an organization pledged to stopping the exploitation of the diamond trade by human rights abusers.
Blood diamonds, often called conflict diamonds, are mined in war torn African countries by rebels to fund their conflict.
The rebels grossly abuse human rights, often murdering and enslaving the local populations to mine the diamonds.
We can stop this by purchasing legitimate diamonds. Botswana used to be a poor farm country but today its government works hand in hand with the Diamond industry to give Botswana a living standard 7 times higher than its neighbors.
Make sure your jeweler stops the blood diamonds trade by supporting conflict free diamonds. |
