BUSINESS LEADERS AWARD AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING Upcoming call for nominations The private sector is an indispensable partner in the global fight against human trafficking. Any national or international strategy to combat human trafficking cannot be successful and effective without the dedicated involvement of the business community in eradicating the practice. To honour business leaders who take an active stand against human trafficking, End Human Trafficking Now!, the Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (UN.GIFT) and the United Nations Global Compact are together establishing a new international award, “Business Leaders against Human Trafficking”. The call for nominations for the first award, to be given in 2010 at an International Forum against Human Trafficking in Luxor, Egypt is now open. Information on the award and the nomination process can be found at www.businessleaderaward.org. The call for nominations will close on 31 July 2010.
