Radio stations and organisations wishing to request copies of the "Together We can End Human Trafficking Radio Spots" please email [email protected] Date: 22 June, 2010 Venue: Let us Grow, Orange Farm (directions below) Time: 10h30 – 15h30 The radio spots have been developed by Gender Links, the Red Light 2010 Campaign with the support of Oxfam GB, CMFD (Community Media for Development) Productions, and the National Community Radio Forum, to raise awareness about recognising, preventing, and reporting human trafficking especially during the World Soccer Cup currently under way in South Africa. Their launch at a youth forum also coincides with Youth Month in South Africa. 16 June marked the 34th anniversary of the Soweto student uprisings against apartheid. The event is part of the broader Score a Goal for Gender Equality campaign ( http://www.genderlinks.org.za/page/soccer-2010) that has 28 targets for the attainment of gender equality by 2015. These include halving gender violence and specific legislation and measures to curb human trafficking. Three two-minute spots were produced that address various aspects of human trafficking. Produced in English, Zulu, SeSotho, Afrikaans, and Siswati, they are being distributed to community radio stations in South Africa. Supported by OXFAM GB and the Red Light 2010 Campaign, the spots were also produced into: Portuguese, French, Changaan, Nyanja, Chichewa, Setswana, and Shona and are being distributed to stations across Southern Africa. An accompanying presenter’s guide is designed to encourage discussion with local experts and calls from community members. In one spot, a young woman’s dream job in the big city becomes a nightmare when she is forced into sex work. In another, a taxi driver realises he did nothing to prevent a young woman from being trafficked, and vows to never let it happen again. In the third, two young women recognise a human trafficker in their midst, thanks to information provided to them through community outreach. The problem of human trafficking has been raised as a concern leading up to the World Cup, but this devastating human rights violation did not start with this global event, and it will not end there. The Together We can End Human Trafficking radio spots and presenter’s guide are designed to help radio stations join in the fight against human trafficking.
