Human trafficking happens in every country
Nobody really knows how big the problem exactly is, because the trade is very hidden.
Nevertheless, estimates are made on the scale of the problem.
More than 700,000 women, children and men trafficked across borders every year  that is more than 1 person trafficked across borders EVERY MINUTE, which is equivalent to 5 JUMBO JETS EVERY DAY.

6. Anyone could be trafficked, but most likely to be trafficked are:
How big is the problem?
Anyone could be trafficked,
but most likely to be trafficked are:
women
- living in poverty and/or in an unstable family situation
More about whom is more vulnerable to be trafficked in the next lessons.

7. Why does human trafficking happen?
Being poor and seeing that people are richer in other places
Unfair treatment of girls and women
Treating people who have come to your country or who live in your country badly and not listening to their problems

8. Why does human trafficking happen?
People not being able to go to school or get a job where they live.
Natural disasters and wars – this can lead to children being left without parents. Chaos in society can mean that the vulnerable are not protected.

9. Why does human trafficking happen?
We want cheap products – that is why employers cut costs by not paying workers enough
Globalisation - complex supply chains may mean that companies don’t check the working conditions of their suppliers. This could lead to suppliers cutting costs by employing trafficked labour.

10. Lesson 2:
Sex trafficking

11. Story
One day, a father and his son are driving in a car. The father and his son get involved in a car accident. The father dies at the scene and the son is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital the surgeon looks at the boy and says "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son"

12. Equal rights for everyone?
If our communities believe that:
women have less worth than men
women have no right to choose what they do with their lives
it is alright for men to dominate them
If girls are:
denied access to education
only allowed to do poorly paid, unregulated jobs such as domestic care or cleaning
looked on as commodities 

13. Equal rights for everyone?
If women aren’t being treated as equals
 than they could end up being sold!

MTV video “All I Need” - Radiohead (3:48)

23. Globalisation
Globalization is the process where things that used to all be done LOCALLY or nationally, now can be done GLOBALLY
Example  pair of shoes:
Before: made from local animals, sewn together locally, sold locally.
Now: animals from one part of the country provide the leather, the sewing done in another town, the shoes sold elsewhere, exported abroad.

24. Globalisation Any part of the production process could happen anywhere
The product will be produced in the country where the cheapest labor is

25. Globalisation Problem:
It is difficult for the consumer to know if the factories and farms that make their products or grow their food,
are not using trafficked persons or other forms of exploitation in producing these products

30. Human trafficking in the job market
Lesson 3 (B):
Human trafficking in the job market

31. How to spot the danger of being trafficked?
Tricks of traffickers – be suspicious of:
promises of an ‘easy job with good pay’
anyone who offers to introduce you to a new employer or job broker
a broker or an employer who demands to keep your passport, work permit or ID card
anyone who prevents you from contacting your friends or family upon arrival at your destination
We are all naïve sometimes – but remember,
if a job sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

32. Think about this before you go
Find out as much as you can about your employer and the workplace before you begin working there.
If any travel expenses or accommodation are being paid for you, confirm in writing if you are expected to pay them back.

33. Think about this before you go
Find out what the working conditions will be. Confirm in writing.
Tell your family the name, phone number and address of the employer and stay in regular contact with your family after you arrive at your destination.
If needed, make sure you have the right visa.

Education (especially girls’ education):
Increases opportunities
Arms people with knowledge

38. Lesson 4:
ACT

39. Awareness raising in your school
1) Decide your focus Which aspect of human trafficking is relevant for your community and what do we want to perform on? 2) Be short and clear! (maximum 15 minutes) 3) Be creative in announcing the play in your school: Use posters, flyers, video, announcements in the school newspaper,...

40. Awareness raising in your community
1) Extend your 15-minute play to a 30-minute play 2) Where? Perform at the local cultural centre, theatre or at the place where events are usually being held in the community 3) Announce the event: - Use posters, announcements in the local newspaper and on the local radio, Send invitations to parents, grandparents, police officers, journalists, press, etc.

41. You Tube Record your play and post it on You Tube! Title:
Global webcast play on human trafficking, Name of the country, Name of the community/city.
the fight against human trafficking becomes global!
