Trafficking persons means the sale or purchase of people against their will. Nearly every nation has to deal with that problem in the one or the other way.

This initiative aims to support and strengthen the engagement and the participation of the public. The logo in shape of a blue heart stand for the sorrow of the victims and the coldness of the offenders.
