Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Trafficking in human beings is a huge problem worldwide: In Europe alone, an estimated 2,5 million men, women and children are affected by this modern form of slavery.<\/p>\n

Lured by false promises about professional education or a job elsewhere, they leave their families and homes – only to find themselves sexually exploited, or forced to toil under sometimes inhuman conditions in industrial plants, on farms or in private households.<\/p>\n

Trafficking in human beings undermines the Council of Europe’s<\/a><\/em><\/strong> values<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. Therefore, the organisation has been actively fighting the phenomenon since the 1980s. <\/p>\n

An intermediate goal was reached in 2008, when the Convention for Action against Trafficking in Human Beings<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (CETS 197) entered into force. This convention<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is the first legally binding instrument in Europe to fight the problem of trafficking in human beings comprehensively.<\/p>\n

The launch of the Council of Europe’s<\/a><\/em><\/strong> campaign<\/a><\/em><\/strong> against Trafficking in Human Beings took place within the context of the convention: In a series of seminars, taking place in the member states, particularly affected by trafficking in human beings, legal, technical and social measures in the fight against trafficking were discussed and coordinated.<\/p>\n

Comic: “You’re not for sale”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Within the framework of the campaign, a comic book<\/a><\/em><\/strong> was published and distributed in the countries most affected by trafficking in human beings in order to raise public awareness for the phenomenon.<\/p>\n
