Activism in the Workplace: What Companies Can Do to Work Against the Sexual Exploitation of Women & Children
- Have the Project to End Human Trafficking present to YOUR business or non-profit organization.
- Companies sending employees on business trips, especially to areas considered tourist attractions, can educate them about the sexual exploitation of women and children. This may dissuade employees from being perpetrators of exploitation themselves and alert them to exploitation so that they may be vigilant and report suspected sexual exploitation.
- Companies can also provide financial support through donations to NGOs working to eradicate human trafficking, forced labor, and sexual exploitation of women and children.
- Tourism, travel, and hospitality companies can educate employees regarding the sex tourism industry and implement protocols designed to protect women and children from sexual exploitation.
- Tourism, travel, and hospitality companies can educate travelers by providing information through catalogues, brochures, in-flight videos, and websites regarding the sexual exploitation of women and children.
The Trafficking Information and Referral Hotline (1.888.373.7888) can assist you in the determining if you are working with a victim of human trafficking and can help you determine the next steps in providing support for potential victims.
