MTV EXIT is a campaign to raise awareness and increase prevention of human trafficking through television programmes, live events, and online content.
MTV EXIT is about freedom -- about our rights as human beings to choose where we live, where we work, who our friends are, and who we love. Most of us take these freedoms for granted, but hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world have had these basic human rights taken away. They are victims of trafficking – modern-day slaves -- and criminals have forced, defrauded, or coerced them into various forms of labour, or prostitution.
Check out the videos on this site and you can also download them at www.mtvexit.org or view them at http://youtube.com/profile?user=goffsi.
How you can join the fight against trafficking: --- Raise awareness: Spreading the word does a lot -- get all your friends to join this Facebook group and watch the videos. Make sure that no one you know is unaware of trafficking.
--- Fundraise - Organise fundraising events in bars, nightclubs etc etc. Charge a fee on the door and donate to a local organization helping trafficking victims. You can find local anti-trafficking organisations at www.mtvexit.org.
--- Lobbying - Get in touch with a local organization and find out what your local and national government is doing. See how you can help change the situation in your country.
--- Victim assistance - Volunteer with an anti-trafficking organisation to help rescued victims of trafficking.
These are just some of the ways you can get involved.

MTV EXIT 2009 NEPAL CONCERT TOUR KICKS OFF SEPTEMBER 5 IN KATHMANDU TO RAISE AWARENESS AND HELP PREVENT HUMAN TRAFFICKING August 24, 2009 – The MTV EXIT campaign today announced the launch of a nationwide initiative to fight human trafficking through a series of concerts and television programs kicking off on September 5 with “MTV EXIT Live in Kathmandu,” a massive, free concert at Jawala Khel Ground. MTV EXIT Live in Kathmandu will feature performances by Indian pop star Sunidhi Chauhan and Nepal’s top artists including Nima Rumba, Kranti Ale, and Nalina Chitraker. All have committed their support to fight human trafficking by taking part in the concert. “I am incredibly proud to perform at this important concert,” Sunidhi Chauhan said. “I hope that through my music and my involvement in this event and the MTV EXIT campaign that millions of people learn about this tragic form of slavery.” The event will be hosted by Malvika Subba, who narrated the anti-trafficking documentary “SOLD: An MTV EXIT Special” and is the MTV EXIT campaign’s ambassador in Nepal. MTV EXIT Live in Kathmandu is a free concert starting at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 5. It will be broadcast on Nepal 1 and will include live footage as well as key information about human trafficking.
Three more concerts will follow in Pokhara (12-Sept), Hetauda (15-Sept) and Dharan (19-Sept) featuring top local and international talent. Australian pop sensation, Kate Miller-Heidke will perform at the Pokhara concert, continuing her support of the MTV EXIT campaign and the fight to end exploitation and trafficking.
MTV EXIT held 4 concerts in Cambodia in late 2008 to raise awareness and increase prevention of human trafficking.
