Socialization of human trafficking to youth in Batam

The socialization of Anti-trafficking was held in Todak Island on 7 – 8 July 2012. In this activity we empower youth to participate as organizing committee. To this, youth learned the ways to communicate with police and church authorities to get support. During two days activity, we informed the youth about human trafficking and the ways to indentify trafficking threats. The result of this activity was that Catholic youth of Batam discussed possible action they could do as of individual and group to protect themselves, friends, and family members from human trafficking. The youth was divided based on their parishes to make follow-up action. In all four parishes, the youth mentioned that they will tell their friends and parents about trafficking threats individually and as a group they chose facilitator among them. To support their action, GSSWC agreed to conduct TOT for youth in Batam. Throught the program we socialized Anti-trafficking to 160 youth.
