Human Trafficking

Training Curriculum

Changing Destiny offers a two-session, online, human trafficking training to educate and empower middle and high school students.

Our Goal

Our goal is to fight and end human trafficking through education and awareness! In this modern, digital age, it is crucial that we educate our children and teens on the realities of human trafficking so they can stay safe and never fall victim to this crime. We must prevent human trafficking through education and give students the resources they need if they are in danger. 

Curriculum Topics

  • What is Human Trafficking
  • Vulnerabilities and Signs
  • The Dangers of Social Media
  • How to Report Human Trafficking

Audience

This training was created for middle school students, high school students, and teachers alike. We took into consideration how much time a teacher might have to incorporate our training into their day. Therefore, we included everything we want students to know about human trafficking in session one of the training while session two empowers your students and shares with them opportunities to join the fight against trafficking. 

Key Takeaways

  • Definition of human trafficking
  • Who is at higher risk to being targeted
  • What signs to look out for if approached by a potential trafficker
  • Recognizing the signs and how to approach a friend who may be in a trafficking situation
  • Understanding the risks of oversharing on social media

Why do your students need this training?

Human trafficking generates an estimated $150 billion dollars a year, with over 40 million victims worldwide. It happens in all countries, states, regions, communities, and neighborhoods.

Recruiting young children into human trafficking has become easier than ever due to advancements in technology and communication. Most children also have access to the internet and even their own social media accounts. Traffickers are now communicating directly with young children online. Since 2020, online recruitment has increased by 22% (Polaris 2020 Hotline Statistics). It was also discovered that there was a 125% increase in recruitment on Facebook and a 95% increase in recruitment on Instagram from the previous year.

The rising number of trafficking cases in the US has shined a light on educational gaps in teens to recognize and report human trafficking-related issues.

The School Project

We believe English education has the power to break the cycle of injustice and lack of opportunity in a family’s life and give a child a chance in the ever-growing, modern South Asia and world.

Therefore, we educate our children in a high-quality, English-medium school. One where English is the primary language used during instruction.

Our school provides:

  • Local teachers
  • International board and influence
  • Computer training
  • Extracurricular activities (sports, dance, music)
  • Counseling
  • Life skills training (cooking, agriculture)

In addition, we provide on-campus, safe-housing; known as a hostel. This includes:

  • House moms that truly care for our children
  • Nutritional, warm, tasty meals and snacks
  • All clothing and school needs provided for
  • Medical care
  • Study time and play time
  • Safety and security

We strongly believe in working together to make a difference. It takes many voices to speak into one person’s life. We welcome teams, especially with international persons, to love on our children, to teach them new things, to give our children exposure to the “outside” world, and to practice their English-speaking. 

We understand that the child will have a decision to make once they graduate. Will they return to the life they saw when they were a little child? Or, do they take everything they have been given, a changed destiny, and go change other destinies? Our dream is that through their years at our school and home, these children will take prominent jobs in society and change the world for the good. We are committed to their safety even as they transition into a dignified profession in the real world.

Night Program

On any given night the babies of sex workers are exposed to an unimaginable amount of atrocities and dangers. Often these little ones are physically and verbally abused, drugged to keep quiet through the night, left to wander the streets alone, or left lying next to their mother as she takes in client after client. These children are some of the most vulnerable. 

In partnership with a trusted organization, we have started a night shelter for these precious babies under the age of five. This night care provides:

  • A safe place to sleep 
  • An open place to play 
  • A clean place to bathe 
  • A nutritious meal to eat

Having this night care shelter also provides the opportunity to connect with more women in the red-light areas. The more women we connect with allows us to hear more of their needs and desires and hopefully provide a solution to change their destiny. 

We are in no way in support of what these women do every night. However, we care for the child who is otherwise left alone in their most vulnerable state. We care for the child that is forgotten. We care for the child that did not choose this life. 

Our hope is that through this night care and through the relationships built, the mothers will want to send their children to our residential school. 

Beauty Program

Vocational Training-

We believe vocational training can ignite forgotten dreams and give the opportunity for a bright future with a dignified career. One injustice we work with is human trafficking and sexual slavery. Many women are stuck in this trade because of illegal debt, while many others are stuck because of their limited, to no, education. Vocational training empowers these women to fight for their future. They too have a right to education.

Our beauty program launched in response to many women’s interest in this skill. They spoke, we listened. They dreamed, we responded.
