WHAT IS MPAHT?
A group of dedicated conference/event planners, hotel sales professionals and audio visual professionals who are raising awareness about human trafficking.
WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH
To collaborate, through education and synchronization, to bring awareness to human trafficking happening in our venues, conferences, events, sporting events. Collaborating with planning professionals who contract venues, suppliers and those venues, suppliers to talk about the situation; to ensure there are training programs in place for both sides of the table; to know what to do about it when a person sees something that doesn’t seem right.
WHY ARE WE
DOING THIS?
To raise awareness about human trafficking as sexual exploitation as it takes place in all kinds of properties. From budget motels to luxury hotels and resorts, air and ground transportation is often used to carry out these criminal acts.
Almost 21 million people are victims of forced labour – 11.4 million women and girls and 9.5 million men and boys.
Forced labour in the private economy generates US$150 billion in illegal profits per year.
Of those exploited by individuals or enterprises, 4.5 million are victims of forced sexual exploitation.
