Traffick Wise
Jessica, an orphan from Durban, received an opportunity from a “friend” to travel together to Pretoria. Accommodation and a job would be provided. However, upon her arrival in Pretoria, the reality was vastly different. Her traffickers informed her she would have to pay back her debts for the food, accommodation, transport and drugs. Jessica worked for the next ten years as a prostitute to earn money to pay her debts. Jessica’s introduction into the sex trade, not unlike many others, was being raped by three men.
If only we could have reached her before the traffickers did…
Traffickers recruit South African children from poor rural areas and traffick them to urban cities. These children are subjected to sex trafficking and domestic servitude. Sometimes they are forced to work in street vending, food service, begging, agriculture and even criminal activities.
Freedom Challenge aims to see the vulnerable, such as children like Jessica, educated about human trafficking and we do this through Traffick Wise.
Traffick Wise training is for anyone!
Traffick Wise is a prevention training seminar. We give attendees the reality of human trafficking and equip them to empower potential victims to protect themselves. Our training also aims to reach those who are “at-risk” or susceptible to human trafficking. While educating people on how to recognise signs, we teach them how to take preventative measures.
It is our belief that prevention is essential if we are to impact the world of human trafficking and, ultimately, protect those in need. With this in mind, we seek to make the Gospel the backbone of the ministry. It is our motivation, guide and reason for everything we do. Without God, we would not be truly effective or free.
Our next Traffick Wise Seminar is taking place in East London, South Africa from 10 March to 13 March 2025. Click here to register: https://forms.office.com/r/xxKHPwG99f
