Summary:

Human trafficking is modern-day slavery and the second largest criminal industry in the world.  The U.S. government estimates that 14,500-17,500 people are brought into the U.S. each year to be used as slaves.  The non-profit organization Free the Slaves is a leader in education and advocacy about human trafficking and created a booklet that sums up the problem and the solution.  It will help you:

    • Look for and identify trafficked and enslaved people in your community
    • Know what to do if and when you find slavery
    • Understand how slavery in the US fits into the slavery that exists around the world
    • Know what you can do in your life and community to bring slavery to an end

Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?

This is the best booklet we’ve found for explaining what human trafficking is, what it looks like, and what you can do to make a difference in the lives of those trapped in modern-day slavery.  These brochures are available for free in their downloadable form.

Summary:

This education pack is teacher and student-tested and can be adapted for classrooms from upper elementary through high school.  It contains many activities, projects, fact sheets, quizzes, pictures and illustrations.  Schools, community groups, congregations and other organizations have been able to adapt material from this education pack to teach others about modern slavery and get them involved in the fight to end slavery.
The Education Pack has five sections, which you can download from their website:

    • Slavery in the 21st Century—This short section introduces the topic of modern slavery and places it in the context of global human rights.
    • Slavery Throughout History—This section compares and contrasts modern slavery with slavery in the Old South and provides accompanying activities.
    • Slavery and Human Rights—This section provides activities to help students understand human rights and anti-slavery advocacy.
    • Bonded Labor Campaign—Bonded labor is the most common form of slavery.  This section explains the issue and provides ways to help.
    • Resources and Contacts—Find other materials and organizations to continue your work on the issue of slavery.


Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?

Educators, parents, and youth group leaders can easily adapt activities to create and supplement lessons.  Free the Slaves is one of the leading organizations in the fight to end modern-day slavery, and they have found that when young people learn about modern slavery—particularly about kids their age who are enslaved—they are inspired to learn more about it and act in a positive way to end it.
