A2 🚨 Children are being exploited online from within their own homes. It sounds alarming because it is. Children are being taken advantage of on the platforms they use daily. Social media. Gaming platforms. Messaging apps. Live streaming. Online spaces where trust can be built long before a child, or those around them, can recognize that something is wrong.
That's why, at A21, we don't just respond to exploitation; we continually monitor emerging trends, learn from survivor experiences, and work alongside partners around the world to understand how exploitation is changing so our prevention efforts can change with it.
🧡 Protecting children today requires more than good intentions. It requires understanding today's risks, recognizing the warning signs, and having the tools to start conversations before exploitation occurs.
🎥 Join the Global Freedom Summit to hear from leading experts, explore how online exploitation is evolving, and learn practical ways to help protect the children and young people in your life.

Today is World Day Against Trafficking in Humans. A simple first step to ending human trafficking is to do something if you see something. No, that doesn't mean to put yourself or the potential victim in harms way, but it does mean to gather as much information as you safely can about the situation, victim, trafficker, etc. and report it. Depending on where you are in the world, the reporting process may vary.

In the United States a new tool was released called Simply Report which is a behavioral based, A.I. powered reporting tool that you can feed the information you observed into to see if it is likely trafficking and report it. This tool can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Plan now.

3Strands Global - It rarely looks like the movies.
Today, July 30, is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, a day to stand with the millions of people exploited for someone else’s profit.
When many people picture human trafficking, they imagine kidnapping, locked doors, and chains. In real life, that’s rare. Most trafficking runs on something quieter: a false promise, a growing debt, and pressure that’s hard to escape.
This year the United Nations is focused on one fast-growing example. The theme is “Trapped behind the scam,” and it’s about people trafficked into online scam work. It often starts with a job ad that looks real and well paid. Once they arrive, the rules change:
• Their pay is held back
• A “debt” appears and keeps growing
• Their ID may be taken
• They’re told what could happen to them, or their family, if they leave
Step by step, they end up doing work they never agreed to, sending the very scam messages many of us delete each day. It’s one of many forms trafficking can take.
That’s why awareness matters. If you don’t know the signs, it’s easy to miss. Protect yourself and the people you love by learning more: https://empowerment.3sgf.org/.../online-safety-and-awareness
National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888, or text “HELP” to 233733. If someone is in danger right now, call 911.

The Freedom Story
This July 30, take time to reflect: what can you do to make a difference today? How can you take a stance against human trafficking in your community?
Consider partnering with the Freedom Story to prevent human trafficking in schools, homes, and villages across Northern Thailand.
Since 2008, we have protected more than 1,000 students by providing scholarships, mentorship, and training on trafficking prevention.
We invest in families through home visits, where our team provides support with trafficking awareness, relationship-building, citizenship, and financial management.
We work alongside local leaders in villages to build safe zones that deter traffickers, whether that's working with village leaders to enact policies or training churches, NGOs, and teachers to recognize risk, intervene early, and protect their communities from trafficking.
This good work wouldn’t be possible without you and your support! Learn more at thefreedomstory.org, or through the link in our bio
