High school students across the United States are invited to participate in a short video contest responding to the prompt: “What Would You Do?” to help prevent human trafficking. These videos will highlight potential human trafficking scenarios chosen by the students, and result in raising awareness, educating, and empowering students and others on how to identify and prevent human trafficking. The video can be created by a group, individual or class and must be under 3 minutes in length.

Topics May Include But Not Limited To:

  • Sexting
  • Boyfriend Pimp or Romeo Trafficker
  • Sextortion
  • Online Grooming
  • Pornography

 

These topics and more will be covered in an educational video on human trafficking to help you recognize the grooming process, signs and ways to prevent it. All applicants are required to view this online training video to get a better understanding of how human trafficking happens and how students can play a role in helping end the exploitation of our youth.
