The auction against trafficking is over for this time. Realstars are incredibly grateful for the fantastic commitment! Role models and companies have together collected 54.428 kronor to counteract trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
The 18:th of October every year, EU: s anti-trafficking day occurs, but this year we chose to splurge and draw attention to this day all week long, between the 18 – 25 October. During the week, we presented 21 gifts in the auction with a variety of beautiful artworks, spa-experiences, quiz nights, hotel stays and signed sporting goods. The mountain bike-cyclist Jenny Rissveds, donated a package with a signed bicycle shirt and water bottle that brought in a whopping 18.500 kronor to the auction!
The medial spreading in recent years, about crimes, about trafficking, about commercial sexual exploitation shows how important Realstars work really is, and how much resources are needed to turn the tragic development. Documentaries like “Insats torsk”, [Effort Punter], where Realstars partakes, and “En Kropp till salu” [A body for sale], has been given big attention to where they highlight different arenas and forms of prostitution and human trafficking in Sweden, that takes place in silence and causes suffering. To use and sexually exploit other people shouldn’t be without risk. We need more money to make everyone see that it’s never ok to buy access to another human’s body, it’s a paid assault. The money from the auction will be used for such stakes against the demand, that represents the root to sexual exploitation. More raised voices are needed and more people putting their foot down, and we are already well on our way.
We would especially like to thank everyone that has donated gifts and to everyone that has participated and raised bids in the auctions! Thanks also to those of you that have taken part, and spread the auction on social media, amongst friends and in networks, it’s been invaluable! For Fair Sex-Against Trafficking.
People are not commodities, Fair Sex, consent can’t be bought.
But to stop sex trade, Realstars needs money.
