Letters from Women Religious about Trafficking in Persons in the Context of the Word Cup 2010
Wherever major world sporting events are located, brothels tend to spring up and vulnerable women could be trafficked to meet the demand. The Global Alliance Against Trafficking in Women says research found no correlation between the World Cup in Germany four years ago and an increase in trafficking. But an energetic campaign against trafficking in persons had preceded that event.
To help such a campaign in South Africa,letters have been prepared to four groups – religious leaders, potential victims, unwitting agents and soccer fans.
If you can help to circulate these four letters. If so, please download them here:
