We've educated over 28,000 youth and adults over the past 6 years about online exploitation, human trafficking and tactics used to lure children in and most importantly what we can do to prevent it!
Our educational programs and workshops start with a conversation on how trafficking happens. We then show our award winning film, Trapped in the Trade, sharing Samantha's journey of being targeted, romanced and intentionally recruited by two ‘friends’ in school, betraying her trust, ensuring she is lured into sex trafficking. We show how the traffickers and recruiters use coercion, guilt and manipulation to gain a child's trust and then threats to trap them in the sex trade.

Education and Training Programs for Parents
Look, we get it. Being a parent isn't easy. The world is not like it was when we were kids. With all of the technology surrounding our children, it can be challenging to have a conversation without alienating them, let alone talk with them about something as serious as human trafficking and online exploitation. You want information that empowers you. Here you'll learn what human trafficking or modern day slavery really is, what it looks like, recruitment and grooming tactics used to lure your children in and, most importantly, how to keep your kids safe. Our monthly Parent Tech Talks educate and empower parents to have those uncomfortable conversations about topics that seem taboo. You'll discover how to begin talking with your kids about this topic, leaving you both empowered and prepared. You'll watch our film, Trapped in the Trade, then we discuss how to even start the conversation with your kids and how to keep them safe. For information on the next course, reach out to us here. Want to get an early start? Great - check out our Parent Tool Kit to begin those conversations. |
