Raise Awareness

Through our experience, a lot of people doing just a little can accomplish great change. As an advocate, we want to do our best to walk alongside and equip you to be a change maker right where you are. To start, sign up to our newsletter to receive regular updates with information about our rescue and restoration work, as well as information regarding the global landscape of human slavery and sexual exploitation. We’ll work to keep you informed!

Additionally, we’re excited to welcome your creativity, skillset, resource, and connections to fight injustices of sexual exploitation. As an advocate we want you to have fun and help our cause in your own unique way. However, we know it can feel overwhelming, not knowing how you can help. We’re here to breathe life on and help your ideas come to life.

Change can start with a simple question:

“Who made this?”

Many of us are unknowingly connected to trafficking through the brands we wear, food we consume and items we purchase. Companies are able to get away with exploiting workers because we don’t see how products are grown or made. When was the last time you stopped to wonder “who made this?” or “where did this come from?” before purchasing something? Being mindful of these things is the first step in creating change. If you stop the demand, you stop the abuse

Advocate for change

An advocate is simply someone who speaks or writes in support or defence of another person. That is what we do! We help and defend vulnerable people who are being exploited. There are so many ways you can work with what you have, where you are, to make a difference. Join our team of advocates and receive weekly updates on what you are a part of and where we need help and support.

We love this perspective on advocacy by Sarah Corbett - Everyone can do something!

For the introverts among us, traditional forms activism like marches, protests and door-to-door canvassing can be intimidating and stressful. Take it from Sarah Corbett, a former professional campaigner and self-proclaimed introvert. She introduces us to "craftivism," a quieter form of activism that uses handicrafts as a way to get people to slow down and think deeply about the issues they're facing, all while engaging the public more gently.

Talk to the people in your world

Did you know that labour trafficking exists in every industry? Manufacturing, food, technology, service industry etc. You never know how you can help someone just talking to them. In 2015 it was a conversation with a regular cashier in Melbourne that revealed labour exploitation affecting 11 stores in Australia. In talking to the people in your world you can not only encourage them to buy ethically, change their behaviour, advocate for the girls in our care or donate funds to changing lives but also meet someone who needs help.
