On Saturday 9 October, CCAT supporters will walk 10km in stilettos through central Croydon to raise money and awareness of our campaign to help the victims of human trafficking in Croydon.
We estimate it will take around 3 hours, or just a tiny proportion of the working day of a young woman forced to sleep with men, every day, week in, week out.
To get involved, or to sponsor our 10km stiletto walk go to:
Did you know?
Ø Croydon is one of the biggest 'ports' for human trafficking in the UK
Ø Over 2 million people are trafficked across international borders each year,
70 percent are female and 50 percent are children.
Ø The majority of these victims are forced into the commercial sex trade
Ø Human trafficking in the second largest source of illegal income worldwide
exceeded only by drugs trafficking
Help us free the slaves of human trafficking in our town!
Croydon Community Against Trafficking (CCAT) exists to raise awareness about human trafficking and encourage action against it.
Grace Onions, Green Party candidate in Waddon, has just forwarded me the above!
