(YH)2- Your hope, in your hands
Between August and October 2011, the Ratiu Center for Democracy implemented a new anti-trafficking project "(YH)2 - “Your hope in your hands". It empowered 200 young people (ages 14 to 19) from the six counties of the Romanian NW development region (Cluj, Salaj, Maramures, Bistrita-Nasaud, Bihor and Satu Mare) to act against human trafficking.
200 young people reacted against modern times’ slavery by participating to written workshops, writing prevention messages directed to their peers. These workshops aimed at writing articles on this topic. Students have also researched and used their artistic skills for drawing awareness messages.
1500 people from 13 locations spanning 3 countries (Romania, Hungary, USA) protested simultaneously in public places to mark the European Day of Fighting against Trafficking. Having Romania as a reference point, the International Flash Mob raised awareness for basic rights violation by all forms of human trafficking.
Participants protested against violation of fundamental human rights through trafficking by being silent and displaying handmade signs. Additionally, the crowds dressed in white and black were "frozen" for four minutes to support the cause.
