RDP Room 1600

Our mission is to raise awareness and empower communities to combat exploitation in all its forms, particularly human trafficking. Our presentations aim to dispel myths about online safety and highlight the alarming rise in reported exploitation cases, especially among vulnerable populations like youth and marginalized groups. Understanding exploitation is vital, as it can lead to human trafficking, with many individuals manipulated online. By educating attendees on recognizing grooming signs and identifying at-risk individuals, we empower proactive intervention. Our engaging sessions feature videos, scenarios, role-playing, and interactive tools to enhance learning.
