Sophie Chen and Amy Yan are members of the End Forced Organ Harvesting Satellite Club, Distrioct 5710, Kansas USA which received its charter in June 2022. Forced organ harvesting, a crime against humanity, has been going on for over 20 years. Its success is a great example of how cause-based clubs can support satellite clubs with a niche focus related to theirs and grow Rotary's impact. Forced organ harvesting is the systematic, non-consensual removal of vital organs from living or recently executed humans for profit or state use, most prominently occurring in China. It primarily targets detained prisoners of conscience, such as Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghur Muslims. Sophie and Amy are young professionals lviong in Melbourne, who have committed themselves thropugh Rotary to helping stamp out this invidious trade in humanity.
