Participants will walk from the Girne Avenue route to the Dikilitaş monument in Lefkoşa and from there to the buffer zone via the Ledra Palace crossing where they will come together with participants who will be walking from South Cyprus.
In a statement by the platform, it said that “The event, organized by A21, a non-profit world organization, was committed to eradicating human trafficking.
Hundreds of people from all over the world will gather in different cities for the 8th Walk for Freedom event, which is held worldwide annually on October 15th.
Those in our country that are sensitive, to the millions of victims, enslaved as a result of human trafficking will also be contributing to this global event to raise awareness this year.
