Our combined talent, expertise, passion and commitment have made the CINE ONU / Time For Equality screening of SOLD a successful awareness-raising event. We have received many positive comments and reactions and it is all because of you – the wonderful audience and all contributors. THANK YOU!
To the team at SOLD the movie and Director Jeffrey D. Brown, for being the storyteller, and bringing the important topic of the trafficking and sexual abuse of children to the screen, and also for taking the time from London to introduce and share your perspectives with the audience in Luxembourg.
To the panel – If only we had more time – the breadth and depth of knowledge of our panelists: Irene Wintermayr (ILO Office for the EU and Benelux countries); Fabienne Rossler (Commission Consultative des Droits de l’Homme du G-D Luxembourg (CCDH); and Thomas Kauffmann (ECPAT Luxembourg), who gave us an insight into the global and local reality of human trafficking and children’s rights, was so well presented and insightful and left us wanting to discuss more.
For the support of:
UNRIC – Karen Davies and Christophe Verhellen, for the CINE ONU format;
Red Sand Project – Molly Gochman and Lizzie Horne for supplying their concept and bags of red sand;
International Labour Organisation, for their gracious sponsorship and to the team at the ILO Office for the EU and Benelux countries for support and the “50 for Freedom” campaign and documentation;
