Abolishion was pleased to to bring Art & Soul to European anti-trafficking workers in Pescara, Italy.  On May 25, 2019, we hosted a one day event to 20 members of the European Freedom Network.  The Art & Soul program was created by Dr. Michelle Sanders, who also sits on the Abolishion board.  

Abolishion in partnership with Colegiului Medicilor Bihor were pleased to hold a conference on the Intersection of Human Trafficking and the Medical Sector on Tuesday May 15 at the Hilton Doubletree in Oradea.  The event was attended by 157 medical professionals as well as notable medical speakers.

Abolishion has developed a Schools Against Human Trafficking program.  This program informs teachers, students and parents about human trafficking techniques and is targeted at communities where we know human trafficking is happening.  Our first session deals with how to be safe on social media and how traffickers work to recruit young people online.

On EU Anti-trafficking day Abolishion was invited to watch Nefarious: Merchant of Souls, a documentary about modern human trafficking and sex slavery, at an event hosted by Love-Bihor and Casa Nansen. This event targeted at risk teenagers.

In 2017, Abolishion launched a social enterprise called ROAM Living.  ROAM makes high quality leather products of distinction and seeks to intentionally create jobs for survivors of human trafficking.  We make leather laptop and notebook covers as well as key chains and luggage tags.

'We started ROAM last year with lots of work on product design and trialling our products in various markets.' said Leanne Rhodes, CEO and founder of Abolishion.  'We're not 100% there yet but we have seen what the impact of having a job has on survivors.'

Abolishion's 2015/2016 Annual Report is out!  We're pretty proud of all we've been able to achieve this financial year.

Abolishion's Leanne Rhodes and Ioana Humelnicu were pleased to present at the 6th Agota International Administration Conference at Agora University this December.

Our team and local community were privileged to create a video on human trafficking that was used all over Europe.  We specifically created this video for the European Freedom Network, a network of 241 partners working to fight human trafficking and commercial exploitation across Europe.

Whilst in Athens, Greece, Abolishion had the opportunity to visit refugee camps and see first hand the impact of the refugee crisis.  We took time to hear the stories and see the needs.  We also got an understanding of how human trafficking is happening amongst this highly at-risk group, particularly the 10,000 unaccompanied children that have gone missing.

In September the Abolishion team joined with Concordia University to bring awareness of human trafficking to Athens, Greece through the medium of street theatre.
