SoS - Sound of Silence
UN.GIFT launches its web-radio
The S.O.S. cries of victims of human trafficking is often not heard, but some exceptional people and organizations are dedicated to hearing their stories and fighting this unimaginable, yet all too real crime.
UN.GIFT's new web-radio show, SoS - Sound of Silence, will engage with guests including civil society and think-tanks representatives, academics, UN staff and UN goodwill ambassadors to document work being done, experiences gained and ideas to move forward in the fight against human trafficking.
For its premiere, UN.GIFT is releasing a five-part online radio show on events surrounding the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, which took place in Vienna at the end of October.
In Part 1, you can listen to an abstract of a speech given by Nicolas Cage, UNODC Goodwill Ambassador for Global Justice, at the inauguration of a UN.GIFT photo exhibition. The pictures from the exhibition, taken by Mr. Scotti in central and east Europe, can be viewed here.
