We have collaboration with three vocational schools in Turkey (Amasya, Ankara and Antalya) and we are sending students from the Vehicle- and the Textile programme for one month of practical training. This is a Leonardo da Vinci project and mostly of the economical support is from EU. We also have received students from Gent, Belgium as trainees (electricians) and we intent to send some of our students to them next year.

We have been working with matters of gender equality, inclusion and diversity in youth work for more than 10 years now and our particular focus lays in recognition of skills and competences and countering outsidership. Our projects usually target "shadow kids", young people whose premises are neither good nor bad enough to be clearly addressed, therefore they lack common ways of being involved in democratic participation. How would that happen... Often we end up in discussions around mental ill-health &co but also inclusive project design (activities rather done by than for the target groups) and systems of public administration of such initiatives. Quite a diversity for a topic right there. 

We constantly search for how to lift the least discussed questions by supporting our members’ initiatives. Whatever daring they might appear, there is a lot of learning in each experiment. We believe that the way to a strong and sustainable society lies through each and every person’s happiness, and happiness is when you are safe, surrounded by those who understand you, and doing what you love.

Through time, the activities within the organization have developed. From Saturday meetings when we were practising Swedish and training physically, we have moved on to the local society information support, swimming school for adult women and even widened our views to include youngsters’ and experimental events: culture festivals and exchanges.

We work both in Sweden and in the EU through Fair Sex- campaigns based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Our work is developed on three levels in society: the EU-level; the corporate and on an individual level to involve the young generation and schools for discussions and engagement in Fair Sex and trafficking issues. On EU level: we believe that a successful prosecution of sex buyers reduces the demand and hence will shrink the market for the prostitution that drives sex trafficking.

Some countries, including Sweden, France, Norway, and Iceland have applied this legislation, often referred to as The Nordic Model or Equality model. 

The law is normative stating the need to address the responsibility of the sex buyer and not punishing the person involved in prostitution. There is interest for the model in several countries. We must also keep in mind that the money comes from the sexbuyer and that ”The Nordic Model” reduces demand as well as the profitability of the sex trade.

The message of Realstars is an eye-opener on this ”Fair Sex approach” and the legislation, although we know it is criticised by the pro-prostitution lobby – is critical to the lives of countless thousands. At the individual level, we work in schools, using, among other things, a web-game in an educational purpose. Fair Sex – is also  expressed both in design, art and fashion. The Fair Fucking Sex t-shirt artists take a stand in a digital campaign.

At the business level different sectors are themselves exposed to trafficking risks. We help companies to identify the challengers and to integrate trafficking issues in their Corporate Responsibility and Gender equality programs. For instance, sex trafficking in hotels is a well-known problem. We have launched Hotels Against Trafficking and RealStars provides hotels with effective tools to fight human trafficking.

Prevention activities and outreach also include efforts to work for a shut down of so called digital brothels and massage/thaimassage parlours with ongoing sexual exploitation.
