Export Quality will gather Filipinas and their allies to learn, raise
awareness, and prompt change to end sex trafficking and sexual
exploitation. These are grave issues that warrant the attention of the
community at-large. The Philippines is the world's top exporter of women,
of which 30% end up in the global sex trade. From the 1980s on, at least
5,000 Filipinas annually are trafficked through mail-order bride agencies
or international match-making agencies. Many of these women become 
victims of wife battery, divorce (70%), and even homicide. Whether 
domestic or international, sex trafficking subjects women and 
children to grave abuse, slavery and exploitation. We urge you to 
join us in exposing these insidious problems.
