    content of the petition letter

    Dear President Barroso,

    Thousands of women and girls will be trafficked into Germany for prostitution during the World Cup. I urge you as President of the European Commission to take action, in cooperation with EU countries, to stop this crime.

    800,000 people are trafficked across borders every year.
    90% are women and girls.
    The majority are sexually exploited.

    Celebrate the World Cup.
    Fight sexual slavery.

    -signee

    Brothels are legal in Germany.
    A massive increase in demand is anticipated with the influx of male supporters.
    This demand cannot be met except through trafficking.
