Human trafficking is a serious threat to humanity – John Abraham

Abraham, a former model turned actor and film producer – famous for box office hits said he fully backed the UNODC’s “Blue Heart Campaign” against human trafficking.

Recently the actor was called for governments, charities and the public to step up efforts to curb rising cases of human trafficking and modern day slavery saying the crime was “a serious threat to humanity”.

“Any kind of human trafficking is a serious threat to humanity. It is a violation of human rights and dignity,” Abraham told the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in an interview to mark World Day against Trafficking in Persons. “I hear about women and men being trafficked from their homes for sexual exploitation or to work as domestic helps in other cities and countries, and even young girls and children are not spared.”

The 44-year-old heartthrob, known mostly for action films, said it was important to speak out against human trafficking as most people were unaware of the issue or turned a blind eye.
