18th October - European Anti-trafficking day

On the 18th of  October in the hall of the municipality  of Veliko Tarnovo , the 8th and 11th IB grades were invited to take a participation in a presentation for the human trafficking round the world and the online bullying. 

The topic was introduced to the audience by a representative of the municipality. We were shown a few very graphical videos of what is really human trafficking and the ways how usually especially young women are manipulated and tricked into the schemes of the traficants.

For me what was really shocking was the fact that these schemes are really things from life. What I mean is that you can fall in the situation where you can meet this extraordinary guy and you fall in love with him. The things between you and him are going very smoothly till the moment a gang appears on his door, kick him and you want to give him everything you could so he can be out of danger. And due to the fact you are probably deeply in love with him, you agree to sleep with a complete stranger. Slowly the love of your life turns you into a prostitute.

The video I′m retelling was directed and captured by students and was really .. me, personally, left me speechless.

The other video we were shown was even more eye-opening for me. The interne manipulators and bullies.  How the use of internet can turn from a pleasant experience into a complete nightmare.

What this experience taught me is that I should really be careful with the people I met, not to be naïve, to be careful what I share in my social accounts.
Well .. till next time!
