Did you know?
- An estimated 40.3 million people are living in modern slavery worldwide.
- The latest Global Report on Trafficking in Persons shows that female victims continue to be most affected by trafficking; 65% victims are women and girls.
- Most cases of trafficking within high-income countries involve sexual exploitation of girls or young women.
- Women have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 economic recession, putting them at even greater risk of exploitation and trafficking.
This needs to stop.
We've joined the TRIBE #ChoosetoChallenge International Women's Day Team to help take a stand against modern slavery and empower the female survivors of modern slavery to regain their freedom and independence.
As such CDC staff will be running individual distances (up to 10km) the week of IWD, each passing an inspirational female landmark en route.
Funds raised will be split between four incredible projects, each providing long-term support for the survivors of modern slavery, delivered by HERA, Ella's, The Helen Bamber Foundation and Justice & Care.
