World Day Against Trafficking in Persons - Coatnet and Carit


July 30, 2024, is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons


Human trafficking in sports often goes unnoticed, hidden behind the excitement of games.   


https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/endht/index.html 


It exploits vulnerable athletes globally. Behind every win, there are stories of human trafficking and broken promises. Athletes seeking successful careers find themselves in nightmarish situations, deprived of their dignity. 


On this UNODC World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we must push

for transparency and ethical standards in sports. Let’s fight against human trafficking.

National Coalistion to End Sexual Exploitation, Key Note Speaker, June 2019

1 in 6 males are sexually abused before the age of eighteen. This number is higher in sports, since our society only deems this act as hazing, initiating, and rite of passage, having adopted belief in the myth that males cannot be sexually abused. This narrative may help the audience understand a victim’s point-of-view of being groomed, making the choice not to report, and the long-term effects may provide insight on how survivors try to live a normal life.
