    Why Providing Activities is Essential in Preventing Child Exploitation

    Why Providing Activities is Essential in Preventing Child Exploitation

    March 22nd, 2024 - The children most vulnerable to exploitation are vulnerable for complex reasons: poverty, social isolation, lack of rights, and education, just to name a few. Prevention entails a likewise complex response: including enriching activities. Offering kids opportunities for growth, leadership skills, and communication skills helps heal emotional scars and protect them from exploiters who try to use those scars against them.

Quick, Balanced and Informative

I have been following The Freedom Story for years and was so happy to see a podcast! It’s content is excellent as they are a proven leader in the field of human trafficking. I was surprised to find it actually intersects with many of the issues facing the U.S. today. The message is succinct and so informative. It’s bite-sized length helps me remember key points better. This is a podcast I will turn to often!

Concise, interesting and informative resource

These are great little segments, packed with focused information and communicated in very accessible language for all of us, whether we are new to conversations on trafficking or have been helping in the fight against trafficking for years. The length of each episode sets it apart as an ideal, quick resource for learning a whole lot in a short commute between errands.

Excellent content in short snippets!

Excellent content here on all things anti trafficking related. I am used to reading the blog which is also fantastic and thoughtful content. But subscribing to this 5 minute podcast means I can stay up to date on the movement while I am on the go too. Excellent! Highly recommend for anyone interested in social justice and anti-trafficking.
