The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has released a new series of anti-human trafficking radio spots, featuring the voice of British actress and UNODC Goodwill Ambassador Julia Ormond.

Ms Ormond, whose film credits include Legends of the Fall with Brad Pitt and Sabrina with Harrison Ford, became UNODC Goodwill Ambassador on Human Trafficking last December.

The public service announcements are part of UNODC's efforts to raise awareness of the crime of human trafficking, which - as shown in a new UNODC report - affects virtually every country in the world.

The new radio spots focus on the plight of the thousands of young women and girls who are being bought and sold for sexual exploitation all over the world. These victims are usually tricked into travelling abroad with false promises of well-paid jobs and then forced into prostitution.

"This modern-day slavery is happening in your country, please don't ignore it," says the actress in the radio spots, which also warn young women to seek proper advice before accepting jobs abroad.
