Event for the World Day Against Human Trafficking

A21, within the framework of the project “Awareness Actions for Human Trafficking” and the Youth Network of the Child Rights Network, invite you on Saturday, July 30, 2022, to the event for the World Day Against Human Trafficking.

Human trafficking is the illegal trafficking of people, mainly for the purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation. It is a system in which people are treated as commodities to be sold, bought and forced to work against their will, for little or no pay, under threats, physical and psychological violence. Trafficking happens in most Greek cities and villages today! Today there are more people than ever before who live under conditions of exploitation. 40 million people live in conditions of modern slavery (Global Estimates of Modern Slavery, 2017).

The event will take place at Impact Hub Athens (28 Karaiskaki, Athens).

At 5 p.m. an experiential workshop will be held for people aged 13-24 on informing and activating issues related to the prevention and elimination of human trafficking.

At 6 p.m. the new one-hour Global Broadcast of A21 will be shown. Global Broadcast is an interesting documentary, it is aimed at everyone and aims to help the audience:

-to recognize common methods used by traffickers to control their victims,

– to recognize possible signs of forms of human trafficking that he may encounter in his area,

-report his suspicions to the country’s Human Trafficking Hotline, and

-be part of the solution to end human trafficking everywhere, forever.

A21 is an international non-profit, non-governmental organization with a vision to end modern slavery everywhere, forever. A21 was founded in 2008 in Thessaloniki and currently operates in 19 offices in 14 countries around the world. A21’s strategy to combat the phenomenon of human trafficking focuses on three main areas of action:

Informing citizens and vulnerable groups and reducing demand. A21 emphasizes prevention and information through events, presentations and training programs, towards the new generation, professionals, the general public, as well as vulnerable social groups.

Identification of rescued victims and delivery of justice. A21 works closely with the authorities to support investigations aimed at locating and identifying victims, through the Human Trafficking Hotline 1109. At the same time, it seeks the criminal prosecution of traffickers and the legal representation of survivors in court proceedings, ensuring that the case will reach the courts.

Caring for and empowering trafficking survivors. A21 can offer survivors of human trafficking access to housing, medical care, psychosocial support, etc., according to their individual needs and with the goal of reintegration into society. Repatriation is also possible.
