The city of New York is taking a stand by launching the Let’s Call An End To Human Trafficking campaign, aimed at ending human trafficking and exploitation in the city.
As part of the multi-media campaign, the Somaly Mam Foundation is working alongside Mayor Bloomberg to print silhouettes of everyday people who may be affected by trafficking. The prints will go on bus shelters in all five boroughs from May 20 to June 13.
Bloomberg explained: “This new public education campaign will play a critical role in raising awareness of the impact of this horrible crime, encouraging New Yorkers to report it and, most importantly, letting victims know that help is available. Working together, let’s call an end to human trafficking.”
