Stop the Traffik, a global coalition of organisations working together to stop human trafficking, has planned a UK-wide tour for early 2007 to raise awareness of the plight of women and children who are victims of human trafficking.
The Stop the Traffik tour will call for change and freedom for those caught up in the tragedy of human trafficking.
The tour is a partnership between the Stop the Traffik Global Coalition, Compassion UK and Cargo. A multi-media presentation on human trafficking will be shown in 11 UK cities will include songs from the singer/songwriter Paul Field who has written "Cargo - the fight for freedom past and present". The piece uses words, music, dance and images to tell the story of the abolitionists and also to raise awareness of contemporary slavery and its links with poverty and fairtrade.
Marion White, organiser of the Stop the Traffik tour, says, "While 2007 is the year in which we commemorate and celebrate the anniversary of the end of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, we want to draw attention to the challenges we face at present in the ongoing travesties such as human trafficking."
