World Day Against Trafficking in Human Beings
Enslaved. Stone monument.

Trafficking in human beings is a serious crime and a gross violation of human rights. Every year thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers both at home and abroad. All countries in the world, whether the country of origin, transit or destination, suffer from trafficking.
A slave is a person completely devoid of rights, depending on another individual. In fact, a slave is a property thing.
These concepts are stored in the memory of a person from the school bench, when in history lessons the period of slave societies was studied. The slave's servitude turned out to be that the slaveholder could treat him as his own. This gave rise to the right to use: free labor, and also allowed the slaveholder to buy, sell, exchange or release his slave.
And although the era of slave societies has sunk long time ago, and slavery and the slave trade have been recognized as anti-human and criminal by the whole world, but today this problem of human trafficking remains acute.
This criminal activity, having lost a legal basis, passed into the shadow criminal sphere. The use of forced labor in a number of world regions has now become massive, as evidenced by UN statistics. According to the International Labor Organization, 21 million people worldwide are victims of forced labor. Most often, the victims of the slave trade are the least protected categories of people: women and children.
The most widespread use of forced labor is in the Middle East and Africa. Often in these regions, people from Europe and the states of the post-Soviet space find themselves in slavery. The instability of the political situation in the Middle East also contributes to the fact that it is here that hostage-taking, captivity or kidnapping become the norm of life, and control over the situation is extremely difficult.
Even before the proclamation of the World Day Against Trafficking in Human Beings, the UN General Assembly developed a special plan of action to eradicate this evil. This plan is designed to unite the efforts of the whole world to identify and combat slavery and the slave trade, and also provides assistance to victims of being in slavery.
Particular attention is paid to the rehabilitation of women and children who are victims of sexual exploitation, as well as people affected by the terrible practice of forcible removal of organs. For these purposes, the Trust Fund was established, where contributions are made by the state, which understand the severity of the problem and are ready to take an active part in the implementation of the UN Global Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings.
The annual message of the UN Secretary General on July 30 addresses the whole world with the call to combat slavery and human trafficking.
In different countries, seminars and conferences are held, the themes of which are devoted to the problem of forced labor and slave trade. Photo exhibitions allow people to see the victims of slavery with their own eyes, and journalists and photo correspondents raise the severity of the problem. This is very important.
After all, despite the fact that centers for the use of forced labor can be far away, the risk of being a victim of the slave trade is very high, and security today can not be guaranteed even in states that have always been considered the "quietest of quiet".
Today we celebrate friendship as a process: in April 2011, the UN established the International Friendship Day.
The purpose of the holiday is simple and clear - to help people of different faith and culture to find a common language, get rid of mistrust and eliminate conflicts.
In each country, the holiday is celebrated in accordance with local cultural traditions and preferences, they hold events for young people, concerts and carnivals.
