Welcome to the Human Trafficking Awareness Patch Program, a groundbreaking initiative designed by Leah Cawley for her Gold Award project. This program aims to equip Girl Scouts with the knowledge and tools to recognize, understand, and advocate against human trafficking. Through engaging activities and guided discussions, Girl Scouts will explore the complexities of forced begging and sexual exploitation, uncover the socio-economic factors that drive these crimes, and learn proactive measures to help victims and prevent these practices. Join us to become informed advocates and help make a meaningful difference in your community. Let's work together to bring light to this pressing global issue and protect those most vulnerable.
This patch program has been designed to educate the participants on the complexities and realities of human trafficking, including forced begging and sexual exploitation. Through age-appropriate activities and guided discussions, Girl Scouts learn to identify signs of trafficking, understand the socio-economic factors that contribute to it, and explore ways to help victims and prevent future incidents, all within a supportive community framework.
