With an estimated 50 million people living in modern slavery, it’s time to put a stop to human trafficking.🛑
On July 30, we observe World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, a crucial campaign to reflect on one of the most pressing human rights issues of our time. Human trafficking affects millions globally, with victims being exploited for labor, sexual services, and other forms of servitude.
The business travel industry plays a critical role in the fight against human trafficking. Hotels, airlines, and other travel-related services are venues for trafficking activities.
By raising awareness and training employees, we can help identify and safely report suspicious activities, thereby protecting victims. This year we're continuing our commitment to the fight with BCD Runs for Life.
In September, almost 100 BCD Travel employees along with our very own CEO, Stephan Baars, will be traveling to Amsterdam to take part in the Dam To Dam run to raise money for two incredibly important organizations:
⭐ A21 – a non-profit organization dedicated to working against human trafficking worldwide and an effort proudly supported by BCD's Human Trafficking Awareness Committee.
⭐ KWF Kankerbestrijding / Dutch Cancer Society – The leading cancer charity in the Netherlands and, which funds vital cancer research and works to improve prevention, treatment, and support for those affected.
