More than 7 million signatures have been submitted to the United Nations, making the “Stop Trafficking of Minors for Sexual Purposes” campaign the largest petition ever submitted to the United Nations!
In Belgium, several tools were created during the campaign:
- « Belgium Progess Card » (2010) : This is an overview of the system for protecting minors in the country, with recommendations for political representatives.
- Protection des enfants contre la traite en Belgique (2012) : a study including an assessment of the changes made during three years of campaigning.
The 102,911 signatures collected in Belgium were presented to Deputy Prime Minister Joëlle Milquet (2011), who pledged to revise the eligibility requirements for “victim of trafficking” status, so that child victims could access specific care and protection programs.
The artist Dani Klein lent her support by becoming the campaign’s patron.
