AFA-CWA is calling on the aviation industry to join forces to abolish human trafficking on our planes. By raising awareness and calling for mandatory training for all Flight Attendants to recognize and report human trafficking.
“There are 4 million innocent victims who are trafficked world-wide each year, and many of those victims are transported on our planes,” said AFA International President Sara Nelson.
The infrastructure and training mechanisms are already in place through the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Blue Light Initiative, launched two years ago on June 6, 2013. Blue Lighting teaches airline personnel about common circumstances with human trafficking in order to recognize and report these instances to law enforcement for swift action.
