THE WHY

WHY DO SOMETHING?
• 20.000 women forced to prostitution in Greece*
• More than 1.000.000 customers*
• More than 18.000.000 purchases of victims per year*
• Less than 2% are rescued with the assistance of customers**

WHY MOTORCYCLES ?
• Because it is what we have in our hands. 
• Because bikers are predominantly men and are likely to be customers of sexual services.
• Because awareness makes a difference (read more about it)

WHY RACE ?
• Because awareness efforts are often linked to political motives, feminist or anarchist groups thus being dismissed by the majority of bikers.
• Because when bikers speak to bikers… bikers listen.
• Because it is a nationaly televised and covered event.
• Because we want to inspire people to use what they have in their hands to do bold things.
• Because we love it.

WHY NOW?
• Because yesterday is gone!
• Because of the increased national TV coverage this year.
• Because there is more vulnerable people in Greece today than ever in recent history.


OUR GOALS!

EXPOSURE
• Through TV we will be able to reach 422.520 homes through the live and replay broadcasts.
• Through Social media we have a following of 120.000 people. And with boosting in specific motorcycling interest pages and groups we are estimating to reach 500.000 people.

AWARENESS
• Raise awareness throughout the motorcycling community in person at the race-track as well as through the TV, web outlets and Social Media
• Educate the professional racers and invite them to make public statements that will influence their followers
• Influence positively the next generation through the voices of their role models
• Decrease demand for sexual slavery.

RESCUES
• Increase rescues of victims assisted by customers
• Increase reporting of tips and suspicious cases through the 1109 hotline

COMMUNITY
• Mobilise people to action against this and any injustice through our example.
• Encourage people to volunteer at their local anti-trafficking organisations or A21 or start their own A-teams.
•Invite people to take a public stance against H.T. by joining and promoting upcoming anti-trafficking events . (Walk For Freedom, Break the chain, Marathons)
