Airways Aviation and its parent Riana Group in partnership with Inter Press Services (IPS) and The Global Sustainability Network (GSN) has been funding / sponsoring a growing group of investigative journalists from across the world to seek and develop stories around crimes against humanity.
We have placed a special focus on exposing modern day human slavery and human organ traffickers (United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8.7) wherever it may be. The articles we publish are designed to expose the traffickers and likewise educate the largely unaware general public on what sometimes happens right under their noses.
Modern day slavery, human and human organ trafficking are amongst the most abhorrent of crimes against humanity and must be stopped. Every year, millions of men, women, and children (some children as young as 6 years old) are literally sold into the sex industry, made to work as laborers, etc… or are abducted and often murdered for their organs.
There are an estimated 40+ million people in the world today that are affected by this illicit trade. Thus, the management and staff of Airways Aviation and related entities and partners have mobilised and engaged to help end this abuse of human beings.
“Whatever the cause and whatever the thinking, the fact of the matter is that modern day slavery and human and human organ trafficking is now far more prevalent in the developed world than was previously thought.
Sadder is the fact that even with the best intent matched with state of the art resources, the law enforcement agencies do not appear to be able to keep up with the growing size and scale of this illicit and abhorrent trade. Given these facts and circumstances, there has never been a greater need for cooperation and action at all levels of society in addressing this problem.” says Romy Hawatt, Founder and Executive Chairman of the Airways Aviation Group and Founding Member of the Global Sustainability Network (GSN).
