Summary of story from STOP THE TRAFFIK, October 18, 2011

Residents of the English city of Manchester woke yesterday morning to find their neighbourhoods flooded with human trafficking warning notices.

Startled residents emerged in the early hours to find houses, cars, lamp-posts and trees all bearing spoofs of the official police warning signs.

The group responsible for the hoax was a local community activist group working in partnership with STOP THE TRAFFIK, a global anti human trafficking charity.

The signs, which appeared on the UK’s second anti-slavery anniversary, are designed to raise awareness about human trafficking within Manchester’s communities and to inform residents that men, women and children are being recruited or forced into exploitation on a street near them.
