Dear Sir/Madam,

At the 45th UBC Executive Board meeting in Kaunas in 2006 the statement against trafficking of women and children was adopted. It stated that trafficking and prostitution is an act of men’s violence against women and children and therefore reinforces gender inequality.

The UBC Executive Board in Tampere decided on a follow up to this statement to empower the work on this important issue and to share best practices.

The UBC Board would like to ask the cities the following questions:

- What action has been taken by your city in combating trafficking of women and children since 2006?

- Does your city have an action plan for working with gender equality and/or trafficking of women and children?

Please send your answers to the UBC Secretariat by 1 August 2014. The responds will be presented at the UBC Board meeting in the autumn 2014.

Best regards,
