We Took Our Message to the Halls of Learning
This month, we launched our National School Safety Campaign, reaching over 10,000 students in 30 schools with real conversations, prevention workshops, and survivor-led stories. One student said: “I didn’t even know I needed this. Now I know how to speak up—for myself and for others.”

Voices Unshackled: Our First Youth Summit
Over 300 students, educators, and advocates came together to share ideas, dreams, and bold solutions to end child trafficking. Young people led the charge. And their voices rang loud and clear: “We are not victims. We are protectors.”
đź“š Our Heartbeat: School Outreaches
If you ask us what matters most, we’ll tell you this: showing up for young people before the traffickers do.
That’s why our school outreaches aren’t just a program, they’re a promise.
🌱 Defenders Club Network
A student-led movement of young people who say “Not on my watch.” They lead peer education, events, and school-wide action.
🌱How we create Awareness
We visit schools with trained mentors and survivors who speak from the heart. We talk about the hard stuff: how traffickers groom kids online, how to know the signs, and what healthy love looks like.
