1 TRAFFIK FREE TAXIS

2 How it began… “One day I got talking to my taxi driver, and after I mentioned human trafficking he revealed that he suspected one of his passengers might have been a trafficking victim. I went back to my community group and everyone agreed there was great potential to raise awareness with taxi drivers. We designed a sticker that drivers could put in their taxis with information about trafficking, and a helpline to call.” Brenda, ACT Liverpool With support from her local authority, taxi drivers across Merseyside were issued with this sticker when they went to renew their licenses. It has now been adapted to use nationwide.
