Bonjour,
je ne traduirai pas tout ce qui est écrit, puisque la majorité doit parler un tantinet
anglais. Cela dit, c'est une pétition contre le traffic sexuel des hotels. Hilton
aurait été coupable de faire du trafic d'enfants et de femmes pour leur bordel au sein
de leur hôtel.
Une pétition, c'est pas grand chose, mais c'est surtout pour informer les gens de
l'agissement scandaleux des PDG d'hotel

Dear Friends,
Massive hotel chain, Hilton, could be complicit in sex slavery and the rape trade.
Hotels are key sites for this horrific trade but Hilton refuses to sign an international
code of conduct on sex trafficking. Let's build a massive petition and deliver it to
the Hilton CEO through ads in his home town papers:
It's shocking. Hilton, one of the most renowned hotel chains in the world, could be
complicit in child sexual exploitation, in their own facilities!
Hotels are one of the primary places where slave children are sold for sex by brutal
pimps. And Hilton has not even signed up to a basic international Code of Conduct that
forces hotels to train their staff to detect, report and assist girls and women forced
into the sex industry. Hilton's action on this would be huge -- if they signed up to
The Code, it would create a network of Hilton employees in 77 countries and 32,000 hotels
working against the rape trade of women and children.
There is no time to lose in stopping this terrifying trade. Sign the petition for Hilton
to implement The Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children From Sexual Exploitation
in Travel and Tourism. When we hit 250,000 signatures, we'll take out ads in major
newspapers in McLean, Virginia - the city where Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta lives and
works:

The ECPAT Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in
Travel and Tourism gets hotels to train their staff to recognize victims of the rape trade
and underage prostitution, educate their guests about the dangers of sex tourism, liaise
with local law enforcement and advocate for victim rights. It works by creating a first
line of defense against sex trafficking around the world. To date, The Code affects 30
million tourists a year - vastly increasing the chances of arresting those trafficking
girls and helping those trapped in the trade.
After brothels were found in Hilton hotels in Ireland and China, thousands sent letters to
the hotel chain in protest, and Hilton acknowledged its need to address the problem of
child prostitution. But to date no concrete steps have been taken. By shaming Hilton CEO
Nasetta in his own home town with a slew of newspaper ads and calling on him to implement
The Code, we could force him and his employees to protect children in the most effective
way, worldwide.
At some point in our lives many of us will visit a hotel - which of us would feel
comfortable staying in a room where, close by, underage girls are being sold to men and
forced to have sex? Sexual tourism that exploits women and girls benefits from hotel staff
who look the other way or get a pay off to turn a blind eye. We need hotels to have a zero
tolerance policy towards child sexual exploitation in their facilities.
To date, more than 900 companies across the world, including the Radisson and Country Inn
Suites hotel, have signed The Code. Hilton is under pressure to join them. Click below to
urge Hilton to join in the fight against sex trafficking:

Every day, hundreds of girls around the world are forced into sexual slavery. Our global
call for accountability and training in the world’s largest hotel chain can make a huge
dent in this vile trade.
With hope,
Alice, Emma, Graziela, Ricken and the rest of the Avaaz team
