They also have information on how to help the campaign here:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/sigbi.org\/poole\/teardrop-campaign-how-you-can-help\/\u00a0 .<\/p>\n<p>For five years Cannock Soroptimists \u00a0promoted this campaign, its main aim being to raise awareness among the general public of the plight of women and children who are trafficked.<\/p>\n<p>They did this by approaching local businesses, taxi firms and churches, many of whom then displayed Purple Teardrop materials.\u00a0 Through a link with the local College their work has developed into concentrating on the street trafficking of teenage girls, and the club has given presentations to groups of students, using the DVD My Dangerous Loverboy\u2019 as a focus. \u00a0 As a result of this link SI Cannock has taken the work of SI Poole forward with the use of their Loves Me, Loves Me Not Bookmarks and now Posters too.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012 SI Cannock and District held two events which led from this, Child Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking. The first was attended by 120 delegates from Police, NHS, councils, Women\u2019s groups, churches; the second attended by 80 delegates. These events not only raised awareness of the issue but also enabled groups and individuals to come together and share good practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2011-12 SI
