Prevention Education for Youth
Awareness & Education Initiative
Freedom 4/24 provides the space for youth to have conversations about human trafficking and exploitation. Fill out our interest form to inquire about our prevention education:
The Problem: We live in a world where sexual content is normalized.
The normalization of sexual content can lead youth into greater risk for exploitation. Youth that experience abuse, poverty and/or addiction are vulnerable to the lures of a trafficker and unhealthy relationships.
Pornography
The average age a child is exposed to pornography is 11 years old. Sexual violence and explicity is normalized.
Sexting
Sexts are sexually explicit photographs or messages via mobile phone. 1 in 7 youth sends sexts, while 1 in 4 receives sexts.
Abuse Prevalence
One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18 years old.
Online Prevalence
84% of defendants on trial for sex trafficking used the internet. Youth spend an average of over 7 hours on their phones each day.
Our Solution: An educated student is a protected student.
