Walk for freedom against human trafficking

GEORGE NEWS - Thousands of people worldwide will take action this Saturday 14 October, in the global fight against human trafficking.

You can join Hope Church George in taking a stand against human trafficking as George once again becomes one of the cities participating in the A21 Walk for Freedom initiative.

Your participation raises awareness, fights for human dignity and brings justice to survivors worldwide.

Register and enjoy a cup of coffee before the walk from 07:30 on Saturday morning at Hope Church in Knysna Road. The walk officially starts at 08:00.

The A21 Walk For Freedom, now in its ninth year, involves tens of thousands of residents all over the world, taking to the streets in more than 500 cities in about 80 countries.

The walk is walked in single file and in silence and with every step you take, you raise awareness to abolish slavery.

Organised by the A21, the initiative was started because of statistics that indicate that more than 40-million people are currently enslaved due to human trafficking operations around the world. This takes many forms, including trafficking people to exploit their bodies and forced labour.

For more information, visit the A21 website or phone Clare Cooper on 082 333 8767.
