GLOBAL TRAVEL ALERT – OUR AIMS
Next year, people from at least 205 nations across the world will descend on London as it hosts the 2012 Olympics. Meet two of them:
- He's a world-class sprinter
She's a normal young girl.
- He's lured by the promise of a gold medal.
She's lured by the promise of a better education.
- His trainer smiles and whispers to him "trust me, you're the best".
Her trafficker smiles and whispers to her "trust me, it's in your best interests".
- His entourage take his bags off him.
Her trafficker takes her passport and documents.
- He arrives at the hotel, his national anthem running through his head.
She arrives at the hotel, her trafficker's threats running through her head.
- He will be heading to the arena to face his destiny.
She will be heading to the brothel to face hers.
- How his story ends? It's up to him.
How her story ends? It's up to us.
It's up to the airport staff to notice her.
It's up to the staff in that hotel to notice her.
It's up to the guests in that hotel to realise something is wrong.
It's up to her community back home to understand she may be in a vulnerable situation.
It's up to her to know where she is going, who to and is it safe.
It's up to every one of us to ensure that it is impossible for traffickers to hide themselves and their victims in our communities.
