200 years ago, William Wilberforce and a few of his friends fought long and hard to abolish slavery. However, as Steve Chalke, Chair of Stop The Traffik says: "There are more slaves alive today than there were trafficked in the 450 years of the slave trade. It is the fastest growing global crime-only the illegal arms trade is bigger."

The Stop The Traffik campaign is a global coalition of organisations working together to fight against people trafficking. The four key areas that Stop The Traffik is focused on, are; advocacy, education, fundraising and freedom day.

One of Stop The Traffik's key campaigns at the moment concerns chocolate.  Nearly half the world's chocolate is made from cocoa grown in the Cote D'Ivoire, in Africa, where many of the workers are children trafficked in to work on the cocoa farms. This is a huge, and generally unknown problem of which Stop The Traffik is trying to raise awareness.
