Watch our latest webinar on the Olympics and trafficking

From Ellie Finkelstein, Freedom United

"People are scared of the police, and traffickers tell them to be scared. We have seen since the beginning of the games, social cleansing and more policing instead of efforts for protection." — PG Macioti, Médecins du Monde

"Homeless individuals are also especially vulnerable to exploitation... The 2024 Paris Olympics could have been a big opportunity to leverage a solution to trafficking concerns. New housing facilities could have been built that could become emergency shelters instead of forcing people out of existing housing." — Roxane Ouadghiri Hassani, Deputy Director of Comité Contre l'Esclavage Moderne

Thank you so much for your support!

In solidarity,

Ellie and the team that supports the Freedom United community
