Human Trafficking and the Big Society

It has been a while since I have blogged about Human Trafficking and I thought that doing a post, even if it was just to raise it's profile again, would be a good idea. Anyway back to the point!

In the fight against Human trafficking then the idea of the big society is actually a very appealing one and one that could really help to prevent human trafficking. One of the important steps is to report where we suspect that trafficking is occurring to the police and to provide support for the victims of trafficking. With out some form of societal prospective then this is impossible to achieve, if we follow a strong individualistic heads down, get on with our own lives and ignore all those around us then neither of these will occur.

If your wondering what you should look out for to be aware of trafficking then first of all you need to be aware of the brothels in the area, this is actually surprisingly easy. CCAT, an anti-trafficking group in croydon and they have put out some guidelines for men and women on what to do to help prevent human trafficking (some is aimed exclusively at Croydon). it might also be good to get involved or help to set up a local anti-trafficking group.

There is also the Stop The Traffik page that has some advice over issues such as human trafficking in the chocolate trade as well as the sex industry.
