Throughout more than 30 years of tireless service, the Garden of Hope Foundation (GOH) has promoted the enactment and amendment of many important human rights bills, including taking the lead in bringing about the enactment of the Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act, promoting the Anti-Child Prostitution Movement, and successfully advocating for related legislation in 1995.
