End Human Trafficking

Human trafficking has been likened to modern-day slavery that subjects children, women, and men to force, fraud, or

coercion for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor. To combat child trafficking, UNICEF strives

to reduce factors that place children and families at risk in the first place. Here are some ways you can get involved:

Check out our sample week of events for National Human Trafficking Awareness Month! Please note that

you can carry out these activities through a weeklong campaign, or choose an activity you would like to carry out

on its own as a separate event.

Learn more by checking out the End Trafficking one pager, the toolkit, and TeachUNICEF’s lesson plans.

Post the National Human Trafficking Hotline (1-888-3737-888) around your school and community.

Find out how many slaves work for you at Slavery Footprint. Share this site with as many people as you can,

and spread it across many social media platforms.

Host a movie screening of Not My Life at your school. Facilitate a discussion on human trafficking afterwards.

Organize a fundraiser to help UNICEF end child trafficking. Check out the events guide for a sample week of

events you can do at your school to End Trafficking.

Write a newspaper article about human trafficking for your local or school newspaper or community blog.

Reporting and Reflection Survey—Deadline Extension

If you haven’t already, please take a moment to fill out the mid-year Reporting and Reflection Survey! Clubs who have

not completed the mid-year survey must designate one club member to do so by January 15th

, 2015.

Presidential Petition

Tell President Obama to maintain the U.S. Government’s annual contribution to UNICEF in 2016. The funding is critical

to UNICEF’s work on child survival, maternal health, vaccines, universal education, and much more. Please share this

link with your club members and spread it across many social media platforms.

Water for the World Act Success

The Water for the World Act was recently passed through the House and

Senate and now just needs to be signed the president! Many thanks to all

volunteers who petitioned for this act last year!

Club Highlights Please send us your club stories so we can highlight your club!

Upper Saint Clair High School hosted a petition signing for the presidential petition and

encouraged over 100 students to post their photos with #EndViolence on social media, raising

awareness for UNICEF’s #EndViolence campaign!

Geneva High School hosted their first fundraiser where they gave out stars for $2.00 donations;

each star that was given fed a malnourished child for a day. They raised a grand total of $240!
