Petition to fight trafficking during the World Cup
http://www.pes.org/content/view/346?lang=en
This petition has just been brought to our attention by the European Women's Lobby
http://www.womenlobby.org
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.
