ACT!
Against Violence and Sexual ExploitationAct! arises as a joint action among professionals organizations
working specifically in the field of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
We are a diverse network of associations, characterized by strong capacity of outreach,
carrying out activities related mainly to:
gender based violence
sexual exploitation and trafficking
victims identification and supports
According to the UNODC Global Trafficking in Persons Report (2018), the number of victims is increasing.
If we specifically refer to youth, there is limited research surrounding the sexual trafficking of women and girls facilitated by social media, however, evidence suggests that social media play a significant role.
To help you raise awareness about child sexual exploitation Act! consortium has compiled a range of free campaign materials that can be uses to educate, inform, raise awareness among young and vulnerable people.
