Help us with a Specific Action
Urgent Action in response to Intelligence
Some of our friends and partners for CBI have asked us to keep them posted on anything specific they can respond to in regards to being Counter Traffickers – going head to head with organised crime.
Here is one of those moments – Please keep this close to your chest.
Our request is a financial one and we would ask you this:

An Urgent Action for Romanian Youth @ Imminent Risk of Trafficking
In mid April we received good intelligence from a colleague that the trafficking of Romanians into countries like Greece was at an all time high with a noted current increase in those being forced into prostitution in Athens, with similar intel from other locations like Vienna Austria. To place this in context, there are many hundreds of girls in the brothels of Athens. 2 years ago the presence of Romanians trafficked into brothels was 10%, today it is more like 90%.
The majority of new girls have responded to bogus job offers in a targeted web based campaign in Romania.
The Urgency:
In short we are working with other groups over the next 6 weeks to head off a period of Harvesting which will happen when older school kids and students driven by poverty will answer summer job adverts to work abroad. Many of who will be forced into prostitution having first experienced the indignity of Greece’s ‘Breaking Rooms’ ready for market in Greece and other countries like Italy and Spain.
We are responding with Radio Adverts, a Poster campaign for schools and colleges and Web portal, which will pack up communications and signpost those with concerns to existing support groups.
This will all require money to get these in place in time.
This is a rare opportunity to respond to good Intelligence with a measured and immediate Action.
