  2. OUTLINE • Introduction • Human Trafficking • Fair Fund • What can we do to help • Summary and Conclusion

  3. INTRODUCTION • Human trafficking inhabits almost every region of the world. Each day thousands of innocent victims are shipped from their homes into a global trade that exists in total secrecy without submission. This contemporary form of slavery is perpetuated by an intricate system of organized crime that cycles prostitution, forced labor, and even marriage. Unfortunately human trafficking is difficult to discontinue once it has gained so much prestige and good organization. However, non profit organizations, such as Fair Fund, around the world have emerged in order to prevent the slave trade from growing and prospering in the future.

  4. HUMAN TRAFFICKING • DEFINITION The crime of human trafficking is defined as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of intimidation, of kidnap, of fraud, of the abuse of power or of a position of exposure or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation”

  5. HUMAN TRAFFICKING • SOME STATISTICS • 70% of all victims of trafficking are trafficked for sexual purposes • 80% of all victims are women • 50% of all victims are youth and children • 9.5 billion dollars have been made off the bodies of young girls and women in sex trafficking • 20,000 individuals are trafficked INTO the United States each year • In the United States, ANY minor child involved in commercial sexual exploitation is considered a victim of human trafficking

  6. HUMAN TRAFFICKING • WHO ARE THEY VICTIMS • Background • Poor people • poor countries • A lack or real job

  8. HUMAN TRAFFICKING EXAMPLE • Alena, from Bulgaria Alena is 21 years old and can’t find a job.  One day she saw an ad in the paper to be a nanny in England, and she jumped at the chance.  She met with a really nice looking older lady who said Alena reminded her of her younger sister, so she would loan Alena the money to travel to England. Alena could pay her back after she started working.  When Alena arrived, the family picked her up and took her to their house.  There, they took her passport and told her that she would be cleaning and babysitting.  But, the conditions were not like the woman in Bulgaria had said.  She was forced to work 20 hours a day, was never paid, and not allowed to leave the house.  They told her she owed them for her travel and she could go when she repaid her debt. But, they never paid her, and the man of house started to sexually abuse her.  Even though they threatened her family if she left, Alena finally was able to run away.  She is in a shelter in England now and may never see her family again.

FAIR FUND • Founders: Andrea Powell and Caroline Tower-Morris. • Fair fund was found in October 2003, in response to violence and abuse that many youth, especially girls, face in their every day lives.  • FAIR Fund programs have reached over 13,000 young people in four years and have provided technical and programmatic support to over 60 social service organizations in 13 countries through out the United States, the Balkans, the former Soviet Union, Central Asia, and eastern Africa.

  12. CCAT ACTIVITIES • CCAT programs engage in the following activities: • Facilitating cross-sectoral training workshops, lectures, and readings for students that discuss human trafficking, women’s rights, labor rights, human rights, intl. migration policies, sexual exploitation, civil society, and beyond. • Catalyzing the creation of anti-trafficking campus student groups and offering suggestions for their activities. • Fostering inter-campus peer-to-peer dialogues between anti-trafficking student groups, as well as with student groups focusing on other social justice issues.

  13. CCAT ACTIVITIES continued • Linking interested students with internship opportunities in a wide variety of agencies, including established anti-trafficking agencies and other types of agencies that work on social justice issues. • Convening national events and workshops that are open to CCAT members across the nation. • Providing a core CCAT training manual with topics that will include, but are not limited to: tools for organizing an anti-trafficking awareness-raising event, identifying victims of trafficking, and conducting research. • Conducting research to identify what student activities are occurring around the country related to trafficking and what professors are teaching about trafficking in their college classes.
