The horrifying figure of 168 million children who works as laborers and 73 million under the age of 10 itself explains the seriousness of the situation and calls for an urgent action to eradicate the human trafficking from the face of the world.

Satinder Sartaaj explains that the Blue Heart represents the sadness of those who are trafficked while reminding us of the cold-heartedness of those who buy and sell fellow human beings. There are 30 million slaves living under human trafficking and 80% are women.

Satinder Sartaaj is going to make his Hollywood debut with ‘The Black Prince’, a movie based on the last king of Punjab, Maharaja Duleep Singh.

The Blue Heart campaign seeks to encourage involvement and inspire action to help stop this crime and also people to show solidarity with the victims of human trafficking by wearing the Blue Heart. The campaign is also an initiative for raising awareness to fight human trafficking and its impact on society.

He informed that the project ‘Song of Hope’ was offered to Sartaaj Foundation which is a charitable organization founded. The video of the song will be released on next week. The mission of Sartaaj Foundation is to reach out and help the talented youth in the fields of arts, culture, education and sports, he said. “We are committed to being responsive to the needs of our youth and young adults, cultivating their God-given talents and gifts and enabling them to grow in their respective fields,” he said.
