The stamp sheet features 10 stamps, each illustrating different manifestations of human trafficking.

Human trafficking affects every country in the world, whether as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims, says Clarissa Fuernsin, Sales and Marketing Assistant with the UN Postal Adminitration in Vienna:

"Human trafficking affects almost every country in the world, whether it is a country of origin, transit, destination or traffick victim. And we have been approached by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, UNODC, which is located here in Vienna. They have asked us to issue a sheet just to make peope aware of this crime. "

The following entities and initiatives also appear on the stamps: UNODC, the Blue Heart Campaign against human trafficking, the Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (UN.GIFT) and the Vienna Forum to Fight Human Trafficking. These new stamps provide yet another opportunity for campaign supporters to raise awareness about human trafficking.
