"With the arrival of the UEFA Euro 2008 Championship, starting in Austria and Switzerland this coming Saturday, we are again reminded of the subject of forced prostitution. Those who appreciate good football will definitely have a great time. Unfortunately, these sporting events also provide fertile ground for mafia activities, and pose a higher than usual risk of increased trafficking in human beings for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
I agree with the other speakers that the so-called ‘Red Card to Forced Prostitution’ campaign, launched by the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality in March 2006, was successful because it brought out into the open one of the most burning social issues.
I am convinced that only a good information campaign during the Euro 2008 Championship about the need to prevent trafficking in women and forced prostitution will open the eyes of the public and expose this horrible type of violence against girls and women."@en1
