- Summary
- Tens of thousands of persons every year find themselves trafficked into forced labour in Europe, amongst them many undocumented migrants. The main areas of exploitation are construction, agriculture or domestic services. Against this background Spanish NGO Accem, the Brussels-based Churches´ Commission for Migrants in Europe (CCME) and partners launched on 15 March 2012 a series of video spots, asking EU citizens to open their eyes and help to identify trafficked persons. The short video spots, between 40 seconds and 1 and a half minutes long, present different elements of labour trafficking (e.g. recruitment and transport) and areas of exploitation. The video spots are in a range of languages: English, Spanish, Italian and Romanian.
