The event which MECPATHS hosted in association with the Department of Justice, that took place on 17th October to mark  EU Anti-Trafficking Day was a great success.  It was held at Cork’s historic Court House where freed slave Frederick Douglass delivered an oration in the 1840’s, calling for a response to slavery.

President Michael D. Higgins sent a message of support.  To read the message, please click here.

Cork City’s extended support included the lighting up of a number of buildings in ‘Blue’, the global colour of Anti Human Trafficking and an invitation for Friday 18th  October to address DELL EMC’s global conference on Human Trafficking, reaching out to 140,000 staff members around the globe.
