"Every year, thousands of women, children and men are victims of human trafficking, whether for sexual exploitation or other purposes, both within and beyond the borders of their country. This phenomenon has taken on such unprecedented proportions that it can be described as a new form of slavery.
The Council of Europe Campaign to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings was launched in 2006 under the slogan 'Human being – not for sale!' The Campaign aims to raise awareness, among governments, parliamentarians, local and regional authorities, NGOs and civil society, of the extent of the problem.
The goal of the Council of Europe campaign, which ended in February 2008, was for all countries to adopt the European Anti Trafficking Convention and provide the strongest possible international defense against trafficking.
The Convention is a comprehensive treaty focusing on the protection of victims of trafficking and the safeguarding of their rights. It also aims to prevent trafficking and to prosecute traffickers. In addition, the Convention sets up of an effective and independent mechanism to monitor that the states respect their obligations."
