EU Anti-Trafficking Day

Today is EU Anti-Trafficking Day. In this bicentenary year since since the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, led by William Wilberforce, there has been increased publicity about the fact that slavery continues to this day, in child labour, people trafficking and other forms of oppression. Many churches have chosen to promote Stop the Traffik, a global coalition working together to help stop the sale of people. Check out the Stop the Traffik website lists practical ways in which you can get involved.
