Explanation
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
THE A21 CAMPAIGN IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION ENGAGED IN THE ABOLISHMENT OF HUMAN INJUSTICE, PARTICULARLY IN REGARDS TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING. WE DIRECTLY ASSIST VICTIMS IN GREECE, UKRAINE AND BULGARIA. THE A21 CAMPAIGN STANDS FOR "ABOLISHING INJUSTICE IN THE 21ST CENTURY" AND WAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN MARCH 2008. ORGANIZATIONALLY WE AIM TO FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING INITIATIVES: PREVENTION AND AWARENESS, PROSECUTION, PROTECTION, AND PARTNERSHIP. WE AIM TO RAISE AWARENESS THROUGH OUR PREVENTION INITIATIVES IN ORDER TO SAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM BECOMING VICTIMS BY INFORMING THE NEXT GENERATION. WE AIM TO PROSECUTE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO TRAFFIC PEOPLE INTO SLAVERY AND WE ALSO AIM TO PROMOTE CHANGES IN LEGISLATION TO ENSURE THAT TRAFFICKERS ARE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. WE AIM TO PROTECT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAFFICKED THROUGH THE PROVISION OF CRISIS SHELTERS AND TRANSITION HOMES. WE AIM TO GIVE THEM EDUCATION AND VOCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE THEIR ABILITY TO WORK IN MORE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. ALL OF THIS IS DONE THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS POLICE, OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES (LEAS), IMMIGRATION, BORDER CONTROLS, EMBASSIES/CONSULATES AND OTHER NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS. OUR AIM IS TO RESCUE, RESTORE AND REBUILD THE LIVES OF THOSE AFFECTED BY INJUSTICE IN THE 21ST CENTURY. WE HAVE ASSISTED VICTIMS FROM AFGHANISTAN, AUSTRALIA, ALBANIA, BELARUS, BRAZIL, BULGARIA, CHINA, CUBA, CYPRUS, ERITREA, GEORGIA, GREECE, INDONESIA, IRAN, IRAQ, LATVIA, MOLDOVA, NIGERIA, PALESTINE, ROMANIA, RUSSIA, SERBIA, SLOVAKIA, SENEGAL, SOMALIA, TURKEY, UKRAINE, USA AND UZBEKISTAN. WE SUPPORT A CRISIS SHELTER IN GREECE WHICH HAS BEEN FULLY OPERATIONAL SINCE IT OPENED, PROVIDING A SAFE, LOVING AND COMFORTING ENVIRONMENT AND ALLOWING RESIDENTS ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE, PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT, VOCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, LIFE GUIDANCE AND LEGAL ASSISTANCE FOR VISA APPLICATION AND PROSECUTION. IN 2012 IN GREECE WE LAUNCHED A NATIONAL, 24-HOUR HOTLINE WHICH PROVIDES PUBLIC INFORMATION, FOLLOWS UP LEADS AND ASSISTS VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING TO FIND SHELTER AND SUPPORT. IN GREECE, A21 HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPONSOR A FOOTBALL TEAM AND RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE HOTLINE THROUGH SPONSORSHIP. WE EXPANDED OUR DETENTION CENTRE OUTREACH IN GREECE TO INCLUDE ALEXANDROPOULI FOR THE PURPOSES OF PREVENTION AND RESCUE OPPORTUNITIES. IN JULY ALONE WE SAW 12 NEW SURVIVORS COME INTO OUR CARE, PUTTING OUR FACILITY AT CAPACITY. IN BULGARIA, A21 RECEIVED LEGAL DOCUMENTATION TO BECOME AN ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATION IN THAT COUNTRY AND OPENED A TRANSITION HOME. 40% OF THE CASES A21 WORKS WITH IN GREECE ARE WOMEN BEING TRAFFICKED FROM BULGARIA. IN AUGUST ALONE, AWARENESS WAS RAISED TO MORE THAN 30,000 PEOPLE. THE TEAM IN BULGARIA BEGAN A MICRO-ENTERPRISE COMPANY THAT ALLOWS SURVIVORS IN OUR TRANSITION PROGRAM TO OBTAIN WORK THROUGH CLEANING SERVICES. THIS GIVES VICTIMS CONFIDENCE IN THE WORKPLACE AND SKILLS TRAINING. THE STAFF IN GREECE, UKRAINE AND BULGARIA HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN TRAUMA CARE AND COUNSELLING. WE OPENED OFFICES IN SOUTH CAROLINA USA AND IN LONDON ENGLAND IN 2012 TO HELP US IN RAISING AWARENESS AND ASSISTING VICTIMS. WE HAVE FOCUSED STRONGLY ON RAISING AWARENESS THROUGH THE GLOBAL KEY2FREE CAMPAIGN IN OCTOBER, DOUBLING OUR PREVENTION AND AWARENESS IN SCHOOLS IN THE UKRAINE, CREATING CURRICULUM IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, MOVIE SCREENINGS IN AMERICA AND SPEAKING TO 40,000 YOUNG PEOPLE AT A GATHERING IN AMERICA. WE BELIEVE AWARENESS IS KEY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND THESE EVENTS AND CAMPAIGNS HELP US IN THIS INITIATIVE. IN PROSECUTION, TO DATE WE HAVE SEEN 17 CONVICTIONS WITH PENALTIES TOTALLYING 223.6 YEARS IN JAIL AND FINES OF 927,000 EUROS. THESE WERE MONUMENTAL WINS BOTH FOR THE VICTIMS AND A21 AND FOR FUTURE COURT CASES REGARDING THE ISSUE OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN EUROPE. CASE HISTORY IS BEING WRITTEN AND JUSTICE IS BEING SERVED FOR VICTIMS. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STRENGTHEN OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH KEY POLITICIANS, PUBLIC PROSECUTORS, VARIOUS EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES IN GREECE. WE ATTENDED AN EVENT WITH OVER 400 KEY LEADERS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN FIGHTING HUMAN TRAFFICKING TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE ON A GLOBAL LEVEL AS WELL AS LOCALLY IN GREECE. THE US STATE DEPARTMENT HONOURED OUR EUROPEAN OPERATIONS MANAGER WITH THE "TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS HERO AWARD" FOR THE WORK WE ARE DOING IN GREECE TO ABOLISH INJUSTICE. AS WE ENTER 2013, WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN EXPAND OUR WORK INTO EVEN GREATER TERRITORY INCLUDING SOUTH AFRICA, THAILAND, GERMANY AND SCANDINAVIA. WE ARE ALSO EXAMINING OUR SCHOOL PREVENTION AND AWARENESS PROGRAM AND LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN NOT ONLY TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL, BUT HOW WE CAN GAIN EVEN MORE ACCESS TO STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD IN ORDER TO STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING BEFORE IT EVER BEGINS.
