But things aren\u2019t always what they seem.<br \/>\nSTOP THE TRAFFIK and United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (UN.GIFT) have teamed up and created the GIFT box.<br \/>\nGIFT box is a unique way to raise awareness about human trafficking and gather knowledge on the issue. The large walk-in street sculptures invite you inside with promises and offers, but once inside you are presented with a different reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The GIFT box Global journey<\/strong><br \/>\nThe GIFT box is a unique project launched by<strong> STOP THE TRAFFIK and UN.GIFT<\/strong> during the London 2012 Olympics. Around the world, STOP THE TRAFFIK has partnered with local and national organisations and government departments to build more GIFT boxes and the project has been rolled out in Brazil, the USA, Slovakia, Haiti and Canada. GIFT box successfully delivered large-scale awareness raising; introduced over 55,000 people in approximately 100 locations across 6 countries to the issue of human trafficking and inspired them to take further action.<br \/>\nOver 1,500 volunteers have been trained and staffed the boxes. These volunteers have become advocates for the prevention of human trafficking and engaged thousands of members of the public to join the fight. People have found that the GIFT box is a place to talk about how they themselves have been trafficked, their concerns about suspected victims of trafficking and even conversations that we hope will lead to international trafficking rings being disrupted.<br \/>\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n<p>Soroptimist Vision<br \/>\n\u2022 Soroptimist International is committed to a world where women and girls together achieve their individual and collective potential, realise aspirations and have an equal voice in creating strong, peaceful communities worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Soroptimist Mission<br \/>\n\u2022 Soroptimists inspire action and create opportunities to transform the lives of women and girls through a global network of members and international partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>Soroptimist Values<br \/>\n\u2022 Human Rights for all<br \/>\n\u2022 Global peace and international goodwill<br \/>\n\u2022 Advancing women\u2019s potential<br \/>\n\u2022 Integrity and democratic decision making<br \/>\n\u2022 Volunteering, diversity and friendship<\/p>\n<p>Soroptimist Goals<br \/>\n\u2022 Soroptimist International will improve the lives and status of women and girls through education, empowerment or enabling opportunities.<br \/>\n\u2022 Soroptimist International will be a global voice for increasing access to education and leadership for women and girls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stop the Traffik unwrap the GIFT box &nbsp; Partnership Project with SI Darlington, Middlesbrough, Newcastle,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":482,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Friday 4 March \u2013 Tuesday 8 March  UN Gift Box Project North East, City Library New Bridge Street West, Newcastle NE1 8AX  | News | Blog | Events | SI Newcastle upon Tyne<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Newcastle upon Tyne : Blog &amp; News : Friday 4 March \u2013 Tuesday 8 March  UN Gift Box Project North East, City Library New Bridge Street West, Newcastle NE1 8AX : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Newcastle upon Tyne .
