This made my blood boil!

As individuals, but far removed from the problem in both culture and distance, I think our best contribution is awareness. It's a complex issue that clearly needs more than just being outraged -- but outlawing the practice will do nothing but drive it underground. Human rights take a long time to reach the ground in some countries. Then again, people on the ground in countries that are signatories to international human rights treaties still violate them on a daily basis with almost complete impugnity, so one can only wonder what chance there is to impose these things on other people if we can't lead by example, always.
