Sign Your Name
One World Cup related issue that I’ve avoided blogging about up until this point is prostitution. With millions of people coming to Germany this summer, it is anticipated that prostitutes from around the world will be busy. I just find the whole situation extremely sad and prefer to talk about the more positive aspects of the World Cup. But one issue I can’t overlook is that of human trafficking. In the modern world we live in, it is horrifying to think that people are still being bought and sold, forced into a life they don’t want to live. I hope you’ll join me and thousands from around the world in signing this petition that asks the European Union to help put an end to human trafficking. Thanks

Claes Borgström today called on the country’s football team to boycott the World Cup because in his view the tournament will promote prostitution and human trafficking. I think Nicke, our blogger from Sweden, speaks for most Swedes when he calls this a ridiculous suggestion. I do applaud Borgström’s efforts to bring attention to the matter, however. As I wrote early last month, every time I read the headlines about prostitution and human trafficking at the World Cup I just end up feeling terribly sad. I simply wish it wasn’t a story this summer, but I know that it will be. [...]
