1. TAXIS AGAINST TRAFFICKING

2. INTRODUCTION STOP THE TRAFFIK
The power of STOP THE TRAFFIK is in the thousands of activists around the globe who give their time and energy to fight human trafficking by creating change and awareness in their community and beyond.
Individuals, communities, organisations, clubs, faith groups, businesses, schools and charities are all part of STOP THE TRAFFIK.

3. WHY TAXI’S?
Taxi drivers can be the eyes and ears of the community
Taxi’s have been used to transport victims of trafficking to and from situations of exploitation
Taxi drivers have the potential to be key stakeholders in the fight against trafficking
“While taxi drivers are offenders in a small minority of cases, we believe that the vast majority can be a major force for good in tackling human trafficking. They hold a wealth of community information and play a key part in identifying and reporting suspicious activity.”
UK Human Trafficking Centre report, June 2011

4. WHAT YOU CAN DO: Plan a Coffee break for your local taxi drivers
Have a chat with them during the coffee break
Explain what the campaign is about
Use our questionnaire to help with the conversation

5. HOW TO TAKE PART: Give taxi drivers a coffee break:
Go to your local taxi rank
Chose your busiest local taxi rank, it’s probably next to a travel hub such as the train or bus station or in the centre of your village, town or city.
Speak to taxi drivers
Head down to your chosen taxi rank with some nice refreshments and before you ask the taxi drivers to take part in the questionnaire offer them a cup coffee!
Offer them a Traffik-Free taxi sticker/flyer
Once they’ve completed the questionnaire ask the driver if they would be happy to put a Taxis Against Trafficking sticker/leaflet in their cab.

6. HOW THE CAMPAIGN 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.
STOP THE TRAFFIK have taken this campaign global!
