The Thane Anti Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) rescued Priya, a 15-year-old, after learning that a woman, Anita, was trafficking girls from her neighborhood for the sex trade. The AHTU used a decoy to lure Anita into a trap and rescued Priya during a police raid in March 2024. Priya, a victim of sex trafficking, is currently facing safety concerns especially since her abuser, Anita, lives nearby and is free on bail. Due to limited social support, she has also discontinued education and needs rehabilitative support. Prerana is currently supporting Priya under the Aagaaz Program that works with child victims of sexual violence. . . . #endhumantrafficking #childrights #womenrights #humantraffickingawareness

Approximately 130 people are trafficked worldwide every hour and most of these are children. Over one million children are trafficked for the sex trade every year. Approximately 30 million children have lost their childhood to human trafficking in the past 30 years. Some children forced into human trafficking are as young as 4 years old. 4 million children who are under the age of 18 are living in forced marriages. This is slavery. Most of the children are sold off by their own families for labour and are eventually traded for sex trafficking1 in 3 children who run away from home are approached by a trafficker within 48 hours of their running away. 76% of transactions for human trafficking with underage girls, start on the internet. The world is not a safe place! Pay attention to your children, where they go, who they are with. Protect them with love. If you come across any signs of children being trafficked or abused do reach out to child helplines (1098) and report the issue immediately. #endtrafficking #humantraffickingawareness #humantrafficking #sextraffickingawareness #childtraffickingmuststop

Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment... What’s the difference? Sexual violence is an umbrella term that includes a wide range of sexual acts. The term can include rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, unwanted touching, sexual coercion, sex trafficking, female genital cutting, child sexual abuse, child marriage, enforced sterilisation, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution and forced pregnancy. Sexual violence can also be perpetrated online or via digital technologies. Technology-facilitated sexual violence includes online stalking, gender-based hate speech, image-based sexual abuse, online rape threats and online sexual harassment. Sexual violence disproportionately affects women and girls and is mostly perpetrated by men and boys. But it can affect anyone regardless of their gender, race, nationality, age, sexuality, disability or socioeconomic status. Every year, AWARE India engages everyone in Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month, also known as SAAPM. This is an opportunity for our community to raise awareness around sexual harassment, assault, abuse and sexual violence. This year, we will continue to raise awareness virtually and invite each of you to join us. We strive to build a culture of consent, encourage healthy communication strategies and connect those in need to available resources. Let's come together to build safe and positive communities for everyone, everywhere. #SAAPM #30DaysOfSAAPM #SAAPMofAction #AWAREIndia #CreatingSafeSpaces #SafeSpaces #TowardsSafeSpaces #SexualAssaultAwareness #SexualViolence #SexualHarassment #SexualAssaultPrevention #SexualAbuse #ChildSexualAbusePrevention #ChildAbusePrevention

Understanding the nature of relationships is crucial to making safe and informed decisions about the ones in our lives; it goes a long way in preventing oneself from falling into harmful and exploitative situations. When our team was curating #Jagaran, it was a conscious decision to include a chapter on identifying #harmful and #healthy relationships. During this #SexualViolenceAwarenessMonth, we want to shed light on some of these indicators of healthy and harmful relationships which go a long way in preventing gender-based sexual violence. To understand more about #relationships, identifying #redflags and linkages with #commercialsexualexploitation and #trafficking, click on the link in the bio to access #Jagaran! We urge grassroots organisations and activists to read #Jagaran, and educate their communities about these crucial issues. #rightschoicesdignity

One in every three victims of human trafficking is a child, with girls making up the majority of trafficked children. For girls, gender-based inequalities result in their increased vulnerability to sex trafficking. But girls aren’t being trafficked just because they are vulnerable, they are trafficked because someone is willing to buy sex with a child. This World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, join us in taking action to put an end to child trafficking to ensure no child is left behind. Equality Now is working with partners to increase knowledge and understanding, amplify survivor voices and advocate for legal change. 👉 Find out more about why this matters and what you can do https://buff.ly/4dl1cqR 👉 Preview the Kenya Judicial Bench Book On Trafficking For Sexual Exploitation and sign up to be the first to receive it https://buff.ly/4fk1Uq1 #EndHumanTrafficking #EndSexTrafficking #EndSexualExploitation

Understanding Sexual Grooming is crucial in safeguarding ourselves and our communities. 😠 Sexual grooming involves manipulative behaviors used by predators to build trust with their victims, often targeting vulnerable individuals, especially children and teenagers. 👉 By familiarizing ourselves with the signs of grooming—such as excessive flattery, secrecy, and gradually escalating boundary violations—we empower ourselves to recognize and intervene in potentially harmful situations. 📌 Awareness of sexual grooming not only helps in protecting potential victims but also in holding perpetrators accountable. It allows us to create safer environments, whether at home, school, or online, where individuals feel empowered to speak up and seek help without fear or shame. Join us on: Date: 12th July, 2024 Time: 3 pm Venue: Zoom Together, let's raise awareness and educate ourselves about sexual grooming to foster a culture of vigilance and protection in our communities. By staying informed and vigilant, we can work towards preventing exploitation and ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone, especially our most vulnerable members."
