29 July 2017 – 30 July 2017
World Day against Trafficking in Persons
Shëngjin, Lezhë
30 July marks the International Day Against Trafficking in Persons. To mark it, URAT Network organised "Art for Freedom," held on 29–30 July in Shëngjin, Lezhë, from 18:00 to 21:00. Art for Freedom was an awareness campaign through visual art and music, making the audience the main protagonist of the artistic work. The UN Gift Box was installed on site, with the space dedicated to the theme of anti-trafficking, allowing every citizen to express their thoughts and feelings on the subject through the peaceful form of art. URAT Network (United Response Against Trafficking) is a national network of organisations and congregations working to protect human rights, determined to fight trafficking and the exploitation of human beings — including the trafficking and exploitation of children. It was a call to speak up in defence of those who have been harmed, and to combine efforts to stop trafficking and abuse.
