Menneskehandelskaffe - En Kopp for Frihet!

 Human Trafficking coffee- one cup for freedom

Description of the campaign:
The campaign is about Human trafficking. The campaign goes like this; We are trying to involve cafes to sell the same coffee in the name of “human trafficking coffee” but with 2 kroner extra because we are going to collect that 2 kroner in boxes. We are making it some sorts of competition between the cafes to encourage them to collect as many kroner as they can. So the highest collecting café will get some sort of prize and diplomas. We are also thinking of going into the news paper and local television which will give publicity to the campaign as well as to cafés.
Duration of Campaign:
Proposed: From 22nd  of February to 22nd  of March (1 month).

Objectives:
The main objectives of the campaign are:
•    To Create Awareness among the people of Aust Agder that human trafficking really exists in the world.
•    To make them feel like they have done something for stopping it.
•    To collect some funds that are going to be utilized in the projects that has been run by Norwegian Red Cross Youth to stop human trafficking in the countries like Nepal, Serbia and Croatia.

Utilizations of money we get:
We are going to give that money to the Central Red Cross Youth Office and they are going to send it to National Red Cross Societies of Nepal, Croatia and Serbia.

Since Poverty and illiteracy is the major factor governing the human trafficking. So, for educating part most of them are utilizing it for preventive majors, they are having workshops for youths, telling about human trafficking, each work shop cost around 100 euro. They are also having youth to youth education. They also have centers for victims of human trafficking, a place they can stay when they get out and are saved.

For raising economic status they are conducting micro financing system where they are giving out small sum of money for one family in a village to buy goat(One goat cost approx. Kr 200)  from which they can earn money and give the dividend to the other family so that the fund is rotating among the families in the village. So same 200 kr in the years can be utilized by many families.

In Nepal project has been launched in 6 district: Palpa, Lamjung, Myagdi, Dhading, Makawanpur and Sarlahi. Previously the Dhading district was the place from where higher numbers of the girls and child have been trafficked but after launch of project not even a single case has been reported of trafficking yet. This is about just the one district of Nepal but there are still many young girls from other many districts who are really in need of help.
