What is needed to PREVENT human trafficking? Collective action to strengthen prevention at every level: individual, relational, community, and societal. Connecting the dots with societal issues (economic hardship, homelessness, conflicts, isolation, online safety, etc.) can disrupt exploitation. Building healthy relationships and strengthening the resilience of communities and organisations can protect against vulnerabilities leading to human trafficking. Our goal is to prevent sexual exploitation before it occurs. Prevention includes cross sector collaboration, including partnerships with individuals who have experienced trafficking. Together, we can strengthen our efforts to keep everyone safe.

Human trafficking is a devastating reality, impacting over 40 million lives around the world. These aren't just numbers—they're real people: women, children, and men whose lives have been shattered. As a global community, we must recognize the signs and take action. Abductors often use deception and online tactics to prey on the vulnerable, making awareness more critical than ever. NICE Actimize stands in solidarity with victims and survivors. By educating ourselves on the red flags and knowing how to respond, we can help prevent this atrocity and protect those we love. Explore our resources, learn the signs, and join us in the fight against human trafficking. Together, we can make a difference. 🔗 Learn More: https://bit.ly/46vy3a7 #EndHumanTrafficking #HumanTraffickingAwareness #StayInformed #ProtectOurCommunities

Taking a Stand Against Human Trafficking: On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we shed light on the impact of this crime. In 2022, 94% of victims of police-reported human trafficking were women and girls. It’s vital to emphasize that these statistics likely underestimate the true extent, as many cases go unreported. In the same year, 24% of victims of police-reported human trafficking were aged 17 and younger, 43% between 18-24, and 22% between 25-34. We are committed to supporting women and children while advocating for an end to trafficking for all genders and those impacted. At Jean Tweed Centre, we stand united in our dedication to supporting women and children affected by human trafficking. Today and every day, we lend our voice to this critical issue. Let’s work together to combat exploitation and empower survivors. #EndHumanTrafficking #EmpowerSurvivors

On National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, we are reminded of the power of collective action in the fight against human trafficking and child exploitation. This day is not just about awareness, but about translating that awareness into concrete efforts to dismantle the networks that perpetuate this evil. Together, through the unwavering commitment of organizations like the Tim Tebow Foundation, significant progress has been made — over 1,200 victims rescued, laws introduced to combat child sexual exploitation, and a global network of safe homes established for survivors.But the battle is far from over. Thousands of lives remain trapped, and every day presents an opportunity to act. We must continue to raise our voices, support legislation like the Renewed Hope Act of 2024, and work alongside law enforcement to identify perpetrators and protect vulnerable children. The more we stand united, the greater the impact we can have in eradicating human trafficking and ensuring freedom and justice for every victim. Will you be part of the solution? Together, we can bring more survivors home.

This #NationalChildProtectionWeek, the message is clear: Every child in every community needs a fair go, and every conversation matters. We proudly support #lawenforcement agencies across Australia in their #digitaltransformations, empowering them to better protect the vulnerable. One such amazing agency is the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE).💙 The ACCCE emphasises that conversations between children, caregivers, and communities are key to preventing child exploitation. Their work, uniting public, private, and civil sectors, is vital for #communitysafety. Did you know? Last financial year, reports of online child exploitation to the ACCCE increased by 45%. The ACCCE recorded a staggering 58,503 reports of online child abuse—that’s an average of 160 reports per day! 😢 Child abuse and exploitation are often misunderstood and surrounded by #stigma. However, opening up discussions can help break down these barriers to support victims and survivors, to make it harder for perpetrators to hide. During National Child Protection Week (and every week), we encourage the community to be aware of the risks our children may face and to do their part in preventing child sexual exploitation. ➡Join the conversation and visit the ACCCE’s website for a ton of valuable resources on how you can help stop the stigma and protect our children: https://lnkd.in/gsfpmYYK #eSafety #speakup #onlinesafety #communitysupport
