The fact that as a society we still have 40 million people in modern slavery, on any given day shames us allThis speaks to
the deep-seated discrimination and inequalities in our world today, coupled with a shocking tolerance of exploitation. This
has to stop. We all have a role to play in changing this reality business, government, civil society, every one of us.

work in the commercial sex trade against their
will. Physical and emotional violence is used in
individuals in conditions of physical, economic,

It is an industry of low risk high profits the challenge is to
change it into high risk, low profit and end it! We need to
destroy the business case for traffickers.

Deterrence This area of our work focuses on prevention strategies and awareness
campaigns in schools and corporations and through fashion, arts and sports events.
Deliverance At our safe homes, trafficked women and children have a clean, safe place to
recover while receiving legal, medical and emotional support.
Development Life skills training is provided in-house, and specialized vocational training is given in
various fields through partnerships with schools and corporations. The objective is to
equip women with the skills necessary to find employment and reenter society.
Direction Through a network of engaged individuals and corporations, we are able to facilitate
job placement helping these women to become financially independent.

The Psychosocial care looks at victims of trafficking in the context
of the combined influence that psychological factors and the
surrounding social environment have on their physical and mental
wellness and their ability to function.

43
 Basic needs Food, shelter and clothing
Safety needs Safety, comfort, freedom from fear, legal aid
Healing needs Medical treatment, counseling, therapy
Spiritual needs - Access to spiritual services and spiritual counsel
Attachment needs Healthy relationships, mentors, role models,

Entertainment needs Arts, sports, picnics, field trips, camps
Re-entry needs Vocational training, formal education, ESL, financial

 Victims of human trafficking have endured the worst forms of human rights violations
The physical and emotional trauma that they have endured is incomparable
It takes time for them to trust caregivers. Stories keep changing.
The key is being patient and to start a story board with each case.
On the minimum it takes 18 months to 2 years for them to heal.
They may have young babies and children, increasing the time needed for them to re-enter society.
Emotional health is key for them to finish the program.
They will makes mistakes, rules will be broken.
Grace to be shown at all times but at times tough love needs to be shown.
You need qualified and trained staff with a unique call to work with victims of trafficking.
Staff will be physically, emotionally and spiritually drained.
Employee motivation is key to retention
The women need role models. They also need to see what healthy manhood looks like.
They should be exposed to family models so they begin to aspire to be married and have families

 Sanjanas Story

Sanja joined our YouCanFree.Us safe house in India when she was eight months pregnant and
dangerously malnourished. The following month she delivered a precious and healthy baby girl.
There are currently more people enslaved now, than in four centuries of transatlantic slave trade combined.
During the transatlantic slave trade, the average slave in America would have been sold for about $40,000
in todays money. The average cost of a human trafficking victim today is $90. Human trafficking touches
every country on earth. Thankfully, it will not touch Sanjanas daughter.

 Yulianas Story

Yuliana, from Moldova, was promised a job as a hairdresser in Poland. She was to earn $500 a
month which is four times more than she could earn in Moldova, money needed to care for her
three-year-old daughter.
When she came to Poland, she was beaten and raped repeatedly, and threatened that her mother and
daughter would be killed if she refused to work as a prostitute or tried to escape. YouCanFree.Us Poland is
reaching out to victims like Yuliana.

A Community that is aware will take positive steps towards combatting this issue.
Awareness leads to prevention.
Traffickers will find it hard to lure the vulnerable.
Awareness fuels allocation of resources to fight the problem.
Informed consumers will put pressure on corporations to check their supply
chains for cases of trafficking and abuse.
Awareness will lead to better compliance.
Awareness will lead to more police engagement.
Awareness will lead to women empowerment and gender equality.

relationship between victims of exploitation and

67
 Research shows pornography is a key factor that fuels demand that leads to
trafficking and abuse.
Pornography which is dehumanizing and often violent affects the way men
think of women.
Exploitation - women from around the world are often kidnapped and forced
to make porn.
Child trafficked victims are often used to make child porn.
Traffickers make porn films of victims and use it to blackmail them so there is
no chance for them to flee from their captors.
Traffickers take pictures and make porn films of women to market them. They
also make money selling their videos.
Trafficking survivors often report that customers show them porn and demand
similar sexual acts.
68
 Open line of communication with children. Communication is the parents first
line of defense.
Talk about the boundaries of sex once they hit puberty. Talk about
consequences if boundaries are broken.
Talk to them about sexual predators, stalkers and cyberbullies and
online porn.
Know who their friends are. Know places they hang out.
Social media. Watch what your children do on their social media space.
Befriend then on social media. Comment on their posts.
Check cell phones/IPADs of your children.
Discourage them from taking their electronic gadgets to their bedrooms.
Use a filtering software like Net Nanny.

69
Need for comprehensive educational, informational, and transformational
curriculum that promotes value and respect for women, addresses the scope
of human trafficking, and teaches sexual health and safety.
Raising up a generation of boys who defend womens rights and empower girls
who know their rights, feel protected and are able to develop their full
potential in society.

Encourage the School District Board to incorporate curriculum in schools.

70
 Educate the most vulnerable
Report and disrupt traffickers
If you believe someone may be a victim of human trafficking, report your
suspicions to law enforcement by calling 911 or the 24-hour National
Human Trafficking Hotline line at 1-888-373-7888.
Look for slavery footprint in local businesses and products consumed.
Host awareness events.
Host fundraisers for non-profits fighting human trafficking.
Local businesses should provide training and jobs to victims of trafficking.
Each one find their role. Attorneys can provide legal services.
Medical professionals can provide medical treatment.
Encourage volunteerism.
