OLYMPIC SUMMIT - Our Aims
In 2012 London welcomes the world to the Olympic Games.
Whilst many will come willingly, others will not, recruited by deception or coercion for exploitation before,
during, and after the Games for sexual exploitation, forced labour, and other forms of abuse. Whilst athletes compete for gold, traffickers will be pocketing the gold
they earn from their victims. Local, national, and global communities need to be informed of the issues and equipped with the tools to tackle human trafficking for the
Games and beyond.
In 2011 STOP THE TRAFFIK will host a global summit which provides a platform for world leaders and professional agencies to work with local communities and young people
to tackle human trafficking before, during and after the 2012 Olympics.
The summit will provide a model that can be replicated in local communities worldwide, linking decision-makers and grassroots activists, creating effective partnerships
to prevent human trafficking.
