World Day Against Trafficking in Persons


DICG's Participation in The World Day Against Trafficking in Persons

We are happy to be participating in the UNDOC's World Day Against Trafficking in Persons!

As you are probably aware, all forms of human trafficking, including that for organ removal continues to be a problem in many parts of the world.  The Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group (DICG) is most appreciative of your endorsement of the Declaration of Istanbul and seeks to continuously raise awareness and look for effective strategies against organ trafficking.

One of these strategies is the observance of  World Day Against Trafficking in Persons which has been declared by the United Nations to be on July 30 every year.  In 2023, we started by disseminating some posters for raising awareness (attached and also viewable at the DICG website).


More information about trafficking in persons for organ removal can be found at:

This year, we have chosen the theme “Recognizing red flags for organ trafficking”.  We would like to seek your active support and these are the ways that you can help:

  1. Disseminate the poster to all your colleagues.
  2. Help us identify additional “red flags” (warning signs that a potential donor is at high risk for trafficking) by clicking here.
  3. July 30, 2024 - Save the date for a webinar on this topic where we will highlight the red flags collected. We will post details and registration link in the near future.

We thank you in advance for your support and cooperation.
