Tiny Tea Tent

Greenbelt festival started yesterday and all our attention is focused on the Protest 4 talk today. Aimie, Si and Greg Russinger (from Ventura California) are presenting about Sex Trafficking. Aimie’s focus is on The Truth Isn’t Sexy Campaign which she and Protest4 have been working on for the past year. The idea is to raise awareness about sex trafficking by placing beermats into pubs, bars and clubs.

The mats are intended to be provocative and have the feel and look of calling cards you find in telephone boxes. On the back there is a story telling a tale of a trafficked girl.

Ellen was abducted from Albania and sold to a brothel in London’s west end where she was forced to have sex with up to forty men a day. She was beaten, raped and threatened with death if she tried to refuse. Ellen was 15.
The truth isn’t sexy.
