Dear Friends,

You will be glad to learn that the World Day against Trafficking in Persons will be celebrated all over the World on 30^th July 2014 and UNODC Civil Society team (of which NATSAP is a member) has taken the initiative in organizing this program. NATSAP will be celebrating the program with all its member NGOs covering 24 Districts of both Andhra & Telangana.

This day will be celebrated to “give hope” to show their solidarity with victims of human trafficking.

According to the 2012 UNODC Global Trafficking in Persons Report, based on data supplied by 132 countries:

27 per cent of all victims of human trafficking detected globally between 2007 and  2010 were children, up 7 percent from the period 2003 to 2006.

The vast majority of detected trafficked persons are women, accounting for 55 to 60 percent of victims detected globally.

Girls make up two thirds of all trafficked children. They constitute 15 to 20 per cent of the total number of all detected victims, including adults, whereas boys comprise about 10 percent.

We request all our NATSAP Members NGOs to organize rallies, painting/drawing competition, debate, symposium, seminar, workshop, media campaign, write articles in the local news papers, arrange programs with children / youths, cultural program on the theme of preventing and combating human trafficking specially child trafficking etc. You may choose one or more activities according to your choice or you may organize local events to observe the World Day Against Trafficking in persons on 30th of this month.
