Every day people are being exploited through trafficking.
Every day criminals profit while their victims suffer.
If you’re outraged or have been affected by trafficking, you can do something to help.
Join the fight to end exploitation and trafficking!
Steps to take:
If you know or see a domestic worker that is being abused by their employer then it is your responsibility to act. Inform an anti-trafficking organization and the police.
Consume responsibly, get involved and find out as much as you can about where the products you buy come from so that your money doesn’t go to enslave people.
If you are paying for sex, it is your responsibility to know whether that person is or isn’t a victim of trafficking. If you think she is, you need to take action. If you know someone who is paying for sex make sure they understand their responsibilities
Raise awareness - get materials from a local anti-trafficking organization and get MTV EXIT materials (available for free - email us for details). Use these at events, distribute around your town, school, and/or youth group. At sports events, nightclubs, bars… just get it out there. Start a group with your friends and get them to help. Forward this link to your friends so they can sign up too.
Fundraise - this could be events in a bar, nightclub with music etc. Charge a fee on the door and donate to a local organization, which helps trafficking victims. Think up your own, be creative.
Get in touch with a local organization and find out what your local and national government is doing. See how you can help change the situation in your country.
Victim assistance – this is a tough thing to do and might involve some training but maybe you can volunteer on SOS Hotlines or create a network to help trafficking victims back into the community.
Create – Talk to friends, teachers etc and come up with your own ideas of how to combat trafficking.
Write to tell us what you are doing so we can share your ideas and actions with others! Contact the MTV EXIT Campaign at mtvexit@mtv-asia.com
