Campaigns

As a result of COVID-19, It’s a Penalty’s campaign schedule has changed to mirror the postponement of major sporting events from 2020-2021. Please see our updated schedule below:

We are so aware that because of this pandemic, the vulnerable will be even more vulnerable to abuse, exploitation and trafficking, and the work of It’s a Penalty to protect these crimes and protect victims will become even more vital.

OUR GLOBAL CAMPAIGNS DURING MAJOR SPORTING EVENTS PREVENT HUMAN TRAFFICKING BY:

EDUCATING

EDUCATING about the global issues of abuse, exploitation and trafficking, penalties for offenders, and the signs to look out for #knowthesigns

EQUIPPING

EQUIPPING sporting fans, tourists and the general public with mechanisms to report such crimes, both whilst at home and abroad

ENCOURAGING

Each It’s a Penalty Campaign harnesses the power of sport to prevent abuse, exploitation and trafficking on a global scale, positioning each major sporting event as a platform for worldwide action and change.
