The fight against sexual slavery, a commitment of the RFEF, on European Day Against Human Trafficking of Women
Victims of this scourge are calling on society, within the framework of football, not to let up in their efforts to combating this issue. The national team’s match in Córdoba is part of the RFEF campaign to support these women.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) wants to show its commitment and support to all victims of sexual slavery to mark the occasion of European Day Against Human Trafficking of Women. To this end, it has sought to raise awareness of this cause through football, by providing a platform to amplify this issue during the Spanish national team’s matches.
Women who have endured this nightmare have spoken out, urging society not to remain idle and warning that “human trafficking exists; it’s just around the corner, next to our homes.” During the match held in Córdoba, victims like Daniela, who now works for APRAMP (Association for the Prevention, Reintegration, and Care of Prostituted Women) rescuing other women, reminded people that this organisation helps over 300 women in such situations every day.
María recalls how she managed to escape from these networks and get her life back on track: “I had the strength to report it,” she says. Organisations like APRAMP and Cruz Blanca work daily to support those who have been deceived, kidnapped, and abused.
Rocío Mora, who has spent more than 30 years fighting this nightmare with APRAMP, highlights the importance of raising awareness about this reality, “something that wouldn’t be possible without the help of the media or initiatives like that of the Federation.” “We need a society that doesn’t sit back; women cannot have a price. We must not look the other way,” she concluded.
