Do you think it’s completely unacceptable that sex trafficking still exist? Do you want to participate and contribute to making a world free from trafficking? Then, this is your opportunity!
We welcome all forms of assistance and are looking for someone who wants to contribute with voluntary work in Sweden. Being a volunteer with RealStars means that you give a little of your time and engagement. You contribute to the extent that YOU can.
Trafficking or human trafficking, which is called the slavery of our time, is occurring all over the world. Its extent has also increased during the last decades. Trafficking exists both between and within countries. All countries are affected and influenced in different ways, which is why we are working with the positive message of Fair Sex – sex should be on the same terms and with respect, without violence or force. For us to be able to create a change, we have to work actively to spread information and knowledge, as well as dispel myths regarding sex trafficking. We need you to succeed in this!
You can find our voluntary missions on volunteer section. Write to ottilia@realstars.eu for more information or to express your interest in being part of the RealStars team!
“It may be a cliché but it is also true: no one can do everything, but everyone can do something. Sex trafficking, in both Sweden and internationally, is sad and ancient and when RealStars was looking for someone who could help with social media, I took the chance to pull my weight toward a better world. The best thing about being a volunteer is that you can tap yourself on the shoulder. It feels good to do good – at the same time as volunteering should be a given for everyone.”
– Malin, previously a volunteer with us at RealStars.

Travel for Fair Sex – use social media and make a difference in the fight against trafficking!
Holiday time – a lot of Swedish people book a trip and go abroad. Therefore, RealStars are starting Travel for Fair Sex, a campaign with the aim of engaging both travelers and businesses in trafficking, prostitution, and child trafficking issues at our most common destinations. We now need your help to spread the message further!
Travel for Fair Sex is an initiative with the aim of shedding light on prostitution and trafficking at our most common destinations. Europe is the continent with the highest number of sex slaves per capita in the world. This is why Europe is now our focus. By spreading knowledge about how different countries position themselves regarding sex purchasing and human trafficking, more people can take a stand for a Europe free from trafficking.
As a Travel for Fair Sex ambassador, we need your help with spreading the campaign and its message in different networks and channels. First and foremost by:
– Identifying and gaining commitment to RealStars from partners, focusing on businesses within travel/tourism.
– Actively spreading the message of Travel for Fair Sex in social media.
Outgoing activities
With the aim of creating discussion and shedding light on sex trafficking, RealStars continuously arrange events with performances, exhibitions and panel debates. The volunteer mission suits you who enjoy planning, controlling and arranging our events.
Volunteer in the city
During different campaigns and before events, we are active in the city to inform and inspire more people to take a stand against trafficking. If you are outgoing and think that more people should know what the real world looks like, you might be one of the people that want to join us in the city. RealStars also need help with passing out flyers and putting up posters at schools, cafés and other public places.
Does this sound like something for you? Get in touch with us, and we will tell you more about what we are planning.
Engage your business in CSR
Are you especially interested in CSR issues and want businesses to take more responsibility for sex trafficking? Then help RealStars and Caroline af Ugglas to engage businesses.
Through Business Against Trafficking, businesses are engaged in the work against trafficking and take their social responsibility, CSR. We also increase the business’ knowledge about human trafficking and prostitution. We can only eliminate trafficking by decreasing the number of sex purchases and the demand for prostitutes. That makes the voice of the businesses important, which is why we now need help with engaging more of them.
The artist Caroline af Ugglas has contributed with a painting that the companies are offer to buy. All revenues go directly towards the work for a Europe free from human trafficking and sex slavery.
Now we need your help with engaging more businesses, and this is how you can help:
– Contact possible partners and businesses that could support RealStars work.

– By conducting interviews with businesses about CSR work and trafficking.
