Currently, there are about 50 million people living in modern slavery globally. In India alone, children constituted about half (44%) of cases of Human Trafficking. While we do have some of the strictest laws on trafficking, a child is trafficked every 8 minutes.
Gwyneth Felicia will be leading the session along with volunteers on behalf of The Movement India which is a nonprofit organization that works on volunteer initiatives in three areas – education, mental health awareness and advocacy of anti-human trafficking. Citizens from the corporate and education sectors champion the work among the poorest of the poor through structured impact-driven volunteer engagements. Together, alongside their partners, they see enormous potential for sustained impact with the people and communities they engage with, bringing dignity and purpose to lives.
Highlights of the session:
- Statistics of rescued individuals and The Movement’s involvement with rehabilitation.
- Identify victims and helpline numbers.
- Overview of the initiative.
- A call for volunteers.
P.S.: Session only for GZH Students.
