OLYMPIC GLOBAL FREEDOM SUMMIT - Our Aims
In 2012 London welcomes the world to the Olympic Games.
During the summer of 2012 thousands of young, hopeful athletes will choose to travel from around the world to win gold in London at the Olympics.
Every minute of every hour of every day, other young people are forced to travel around the world to make gold for someone else; trafficked.
In 2012, athletes will travel to follow dreams of having a gold medals placed round their necks, their national anthems ringing in their ears as they stand on the podium. At the same time other young men and women will travel to follow their dreams of a better future - only to find they become hidden from view; a trafficker's golden prize.
We must alert the world that travelling is not risk free. We need to alert communities to the fact that people cannot be bought and sold.
Global Travel Alert
Every journey ends with a destination and the hopes of a safe place to stay. Whether a hotel suite or a hostel room; good hospitality leaves no room for trafficking.
The Global Freedom Summits will:
- assert people's right to travel safely.
- raise awareness of how to travel safely.
- create a hospitality industry that is alert to the issue and allows no room for trafficking.
- empower communities to send out their own Global Travel Alert.
STOP THE TRAFFIK community activists around the world will be equipped to hold their own Freedom Summits which will gather together hospitality providers, community leaders and community members.
