🚨 New Report Launch: Tackling Human Trafficking in Romania 🚨 Romania is a recognised trafficking hotspot, ranking 46th globally and 20th in Europe and Central Asia for modern slavery. Young women and girls are particularly vulnerable to exploitation. Between May 2023 and August 2024, STOP THE TRAFFIK launched Project Previnera Si Perturbera (PSP)—Prevent to Protect—a targeted initiative to uncover trafficking routes, prevent recruitment, and disrupt organised crime networks. What we achieved: ✅ Targeted digital outreach: We ran geo-targeted campaigns on Facebook and Instagram to deliver safety information directly to those most at risk. ✅ Collaboration in action: We gathered data from 10 frontline organisations analysing 134 anonymised cases, uncovering trends and vulnerabilities. ✅ Disrupting financial exploitation: We delivered a training to  18 financial institutions in Romania, equipping them with the tools to identify and disrupt trafficking operations. At STOP THE TRAFFIK, we know prevention requires collective action—from NGOs to financial institutions and technology platforms. 📊 Read the full report and learn how collaboration prevents exploitation: https://lnkd.in/e-WFxTP6 #EndTrafficking #ModernSlavery #PreventionInAction #Collaboration

🌍🤝 Collaboration is the key to disrupting human trafficking networks and protecting those at risk.     At STOP THE TRAFFIK, we were proud to support Operation CyberProtect, a groundbreaking initiative led by INTERPOL and the OSCE. This first-of-its-kind hackathon explored how digital tools facilitate trafficking, with a focus on the exploitation of Latin Americans in Europe. Through data scrapes of Adult Service Websites and intelligence reports, we provided crucial insights that gave participating countries a solid foundation for investigations—helping detect traffickers and safeguard victims.    As our Director of Intelligence, Nick Dale highlights:    "Cross-collaboration between Law Enforcement Agencies and NGOs is crucial in the fight against human trafficking. NGOs hold valuable information that Law Enforcement Agencies can investigate further, resulting in the detection of traffickers and the safeguarding of victims.     It is only when we work as a unified front that better results can be achieved in the fight against Human Trafficking." 🔗 To read more about this project, click the link: https://bit.ly/4gIo7xQ   Together, we can achieve better results and make a real impact in the fight against human trafficking. 💡

👚 Fashion That Fights Exploitation. 👚 No Sweat is a grassroots international campaign against sweatshop labour in the garment industry.

🍫More Than Indulgence – It’s Impact 🍫 In 2006 STOP THE TRAFFIK ran a campaign focussed on ending child trafficking into the cocoa industry. Yet exploitation remains chocolate’s hidden ingredient. Ombar Chocolate work directly with Ecuadorian cooperative farms, paying higher-than-fair-trade prices for native Ecuadorian cacao. This ensures farmers are fairly compensated, and their incomes remain stable – avoiding the fluctuating prices of mass-market cacao. Ombar employs a local supply chain manager in Ecuador who works closely with farmer cooperatives to ensure every step—from harvest to export—meets their high ethical and quality standards. It’s chocolate you can feel good about. 🌍 This Christmas, treat yourself or your loved ones to delicious, dairy-free chocolate bars made with ethically sourced, organic cacao. PLUS until 17th December: if you give a £50 one-off donation or commit to £30 per month then we will send you a gift bundle containing a bar of Ombar chocolate, two cans of Holos Kombucha, a bag of Manumit coffee, and a limited edition STOP THE TRAFFIK T-Shirt from No Sweat as a thank you. 🎁 Give the gift of freedom this Christmas.

💫 Partnerships that Inspire 💫 This year, I had the privilege of attending the Anti-Slavery Day Awards, hosted by the incredible The Human Trafficking Foundation. It was a truly memorable evening, and one encounter, in particular, stood out. Before the event, my team encouraged me to meet Naomi Partridge, the founder of HOLOS Kombucha—a company they adore not just for its delicious kombucha but for what it represents. Holos is home-brewed in the UK and provides employment opportunities for survivors of trafficking, helping them build financial independence, a sense of belonging, and confidence. Running late (as always!), I found myself rushing through security, hurriedly swapping my trainers for heels, when a kind stranger offered to help me find my way. It wasn’t until we started chatting that I realised this kind stranger was Naomi herself! Not only did I get to hear about her inspiring journey and her commitment to creating a product with purpose, but I also tried Holos for the first time—and I was so impressed. It’s easily the best kombucha I’ve tasted, ( I didn't even have a glass of white that night because it was so nice!) Naomi’s courage to pivot her career and launch something so impactful is truly remarkable. 💛 I’m thrilled to share Holos Kombucha with you: Grab a box of their organic chilled kombucha—a delicious alternative to alcohol. Or, check out their Home-Brewing Kit, a unique Christmas gift idea for friends and family. https://lnkd.in/egMegjvd Here’s a bonus: Use code STOPTHETRAFFIK at checkout to enjoy 15% off your purchase. Plus, 5% of every sale using this code will be donated to STOP THE TRAFFIK, helping us continue our fight against human trafficking. P.S. This post isn’t sponsored—Naomi and Holos have no idea I’m sharing this. I just genuinely believe in their product and their mission. 💫 P.P.S. It’s been so good to see the lovely Molly Hodson at several events this year and to share ideas together. I’m excited to explore even more opportunities for collaboration in the future. #Partnerships #SocialImpact #ModernSlavery #AntiTrafficking #HolosKombucha #STOPTHETRAFFIK
