Each year, thousands of women, children and men are trafficked into modern day slavery. It may be that, as you travel on business, you see signs of people being forced to sell sex, or work in forced labor. Now you can report in a low-key and simple way, what you have seen. By sending a message through this website, you will enable Business Travellers against Human Trafficking to connect with the appropriate authorities to investigate further.

Human trafficking is a huge problem in Columbia, with approximately 50,000 Columbians having been trafficked into forced prostitution and forced labour. Often people will migrate from rural areas into the city to find work and so become vulnerable to traffickers. The main countries women are trafficked to from Columbia are Spain, Japan and Holland.\r\nIn response to this, the UN have co-operated with the popular TV soap “Everyone loves Marilyn.” to create an episode about human trafficking. The episode includes appearances by UN diplomats. The programme reaches about 7 million Columbians and so will be an effective tool in helping to raise awareness about trafficking. \r\n"It's easy for Colombian girls to relate to the character and say to themselves: 'This could have happened to me,'" said Adriana Ruiz-Restrepo, who leads the UN program against human trafficking in Columbia.\r\nThe more people know about the problem, the more they will be able to recognise the fraudulent job offers of human traffickers and so become less vulnerable.\r\n
