Working grant - Human Trafficking, the Modern-Day Slave Trade
They offer us a moment of pampering; a manicure, pedicure or perhaps a well-needed massage. They make sure Friday nights are free from cooking thanks to a myriad of cheap Asian take-aways. They even provide sexual relief for tens of thousands of European husbands – yet we’re constantly shocked to learn of their existence. Human trafficking victims are everywhere.
Maik Baumgärtner and Lisa Bjurwald present a unique insight into the entire chain of human trafficking: from survivors who tell their haunting stories, to those who take advantage of them – and make millions in profit. In a reportage series that takes us to some of Europe’s darkest corners, we will also meet men and women who fight the plague of the modern-day slave trade – including former victims turned activists and nuns standing up to the mafia.
