• to promote awareness re. human trafficking;
• to exchange best practices in advocacy for and empowerment of survivors of human trafficking;
• to recommend actions that counter human trafficking.

“Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion, for the purpose of subjecting that person to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery.” Trafficking Victims' Protection Act (TVPA) 2000.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) launched
the Blue Heart Campaign against human trafficking
in March2009.

The Blue Heart represents the sadness of those who are trafficked while reminding us of the cold-heartedness of those who buy and sell fellow human beings. The use of the blue UN color also demonstrates the commitment of the United Nations to combating this crime against human dignity.

By wearing the Blue Heart you raise awareness of this crime and join the campaign to fight it. Materials and more information on the Blue Heart campaign can be found at www.unodc.org/blueheart.
