WHAT IS STOP THE TRAFFIK?
A global Coaltion:
- Exposing people trafficking
- Leading governments to action
- Unlocking freedom
STOP THE TRAFFIK is a major global coalition working together to help stop the sale of people, to see the traffickers prosecuted and to protect the victims of human trafficking and those vulnerable to this crime.
STOP THE TRAFFIK will raise awareness of the problem of human trafficking and call for change through the education of people in source and receiving countries as well as by equipping them to be advocates for change. The initiative will also encourage and help to finance grass roots anti-trafficking projects around the world. The initiative will culminate in “Freedom Day” on March 25th 2007 (the Bicentenary of the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade), which will be a day for everyone to celebrate liberty and commit to bringing that freedom to all men, women and children across the world, particularly by ending the terrible abuse of human rights, which is human trafficking.
Education
Our goal is to create increased public awareness of what is, at the moment, a little known or understood injustice. STOP THE TRAFFIK will link together organisations that already work in the field of human trafficking and will compliment their efforts through creating a big media “platform”. As one voice, the members will effectively touch the public conscience in a stronger more powerful way than they could individually.
March 25th 2007 will be Freedom Day – not just as a celebration of history, but a moment to be inspired by the champions of history of the past to help us fight for freedom from the bondage of slavery through people trafficking.
Freedom Day will be celebrated by local, national and international events as the culmination of this 12-month initiative. Our plan is to hold major music concerts and events in London and elsewhere around the world that will attract extensive public attendance, press and media coverage. At the heart of Freedom Day will be tens of thousands of local events organised by coalition members and supporters whether NGOs, local charities, schools, clubs and faith groups etc. around the world.
