BANGKOK, Thailand -- MTV Networks and the U.S. Agency for International Development on Wednesday announced an Asia-wide campaign to raise awareness about human trafficking, calling it "a tragic form of modern-day slavery."
MTV tapped Thai pop star Tata Young and Korean hitmaker Rain to promote MTV EXIT, or End Exploitation and Trafficking, a campaign of documentaries, short films and public service announcements set to begin in September and last through 2008.
MTV, which broadcasts in eight languages across Asia, reaching a largely young audience, released a statement about the campaign from Bangkok, Thailand, where the sex trade has long drawn young people from the poor countryside and the neighboring countries of Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar to cater to sex tourists.
"Education is key to prevention", MTV vice chairman Bill Roedy said in a statement. "MTV EXIT is part of our commitment to help highlight issues affecting young people in Asia and across the world."
MTV expects the EXIT documentary programs to reach 380 million households.
