[HMDS] A Sneak Peak: Sex Trafficking Action project Welcome NoteCard
Below is the "Sex Trafficking Action project Welcome NoteCard," written by Camp GK, which teens receive when they first arrive at the maze:
- Hello everyone. Welcome to the Camp Global Kids action project to raise awareness about Child Sex Trafficking.
Throughout the Camp Global Kids summer program, we explored a variety of global issues. Child Sex Trafficking is a particularly horrific issue that has struck us as profoundly worrisome, so we chose to take action here in the Teen Grid. This is why we're here - to inform YOU about Child Sex Trafficking and how you can help end this global crisis.
Using children for sexual exploitation is a high-profit, low-risk industry very often run by organized crime units throughout the world.
It is a global problem not reserved for third world countries but is also growing in countries such as Canada and the United States.
Our project starts out with a maze. Children are often lured into slavery by promise of food, shelter or money. As they are drawn deeper into the nightmare of sexual exploitation, their will to escape must feel like a maze - confused, hopeless and their world becoming a dead end.
We hope as you progress through the maze you will take the opportunity to look at the photographs, read the testimonies and become aware of the facts about this crime against children.
