During the last decade, trafficking, the modern form of slavery – as it has correctly been characterised – has acquired explosive international dimensions both in gravity and size. It is like a machine that minces all: body, conscience, thought. The result of this illegal criminal ‘business’ has been estimated at 7 billion Euros per year. During the past few years, Greece has been not only a country of destination but also a transit centre to Western Europe and the Middle East for the sexual exploitation of women and children. It is estimated that the turnover of trafficking through Greece exceeds 600 million Euros annually. Every year, hundreds of thousands of human beings all over the world, mainly women and children, are the tragic victims of these criminal networks. Trafficking is a plague which requires action from us all. The participation of society in fighting trafficking and supporting victims is essential. Easy solutions do not exist. The fate of millions of women and children all over the world depend on our actions. In that sense the initiatives that the Global Coalition has undertaken, with the support of The Suzanne Mubarak Women’s International Peace Movement, contribute significantly to the international community’s fight against organised crime and to the consolidation of human dignity and human rights.
