It's not easy to have this kind of conversation with your kids - we get it. That's why you have us. With the experience of educating over 34,000 youth and parents in the past seven years, your kids tell us they want you to have this information and for YOU to have the conversation with them.
With so many of our children struggling to connect and feel like they belong, they are even more vulnerable to the lies and tactics used to entice them to do something they would never do online, leaving them at great risk to be exploited. The truth is, educating you about human trafficking is the most powerful way to accelerate the cycle of disruption and keep your children safe. That's why we've designed a Prevention Toolkit for parents. We've taken the guess work out of the conversation for you. You'll discover facts to share, understand recruitment and grooming tactics used so you can discuss them and easy to use conversation starters. Together we can #endit! |

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, there were 36 million reports of online child CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) in 2023. * Internationally, according to the ILO, of the 40 million people enslaved around the world, 25% of them are children. As overwhelming as that may seem, there is something we can do about this. Get educated and share that information with your friends and family. The HSI reports online sextortion of boys is up 18,700%! This can be prevented. One conversation can and has saved lives. Paving The Way Foundation was created to provide answers to those questions. We've educated over 34,000 youth, parents, teachers, and community leaders about child trafficking and online exploitation, sharing with them the impact it has on our children and the actions to take to prevent it. |
