Many people in #Myanmar are affected by, or considering, #migration. The #media has an important role to play in helping people make informed decisions. That is why LIFT works with @bbcmediaaction who train journalists on issues related to migration. More: https://t.co/ibZuLaOgxC

Today we're bringing together professionals from all over East Sussex to talk about their role in the fight against #HumanTrafficking. We've got NGOs, health, law enforcement and loads more all talking about how to make communities safer

Without immediate employment many women would be forced back into exploitation.

Your support helps the women at Eden pursue job training in their area of interest and attain the financial literacy needed to save and invest in their future! 🌸

“Injustice is a rampant virus that targets the weak, vulnerable and unprotected”

Thoughts our founder had whilst holding a 16-year-old trafficked girl who sobbed as she heard she had tested positive for HIV.

Injustice strips them of everything.
Even hope.

First rescue in #ShanState #Myanmar! After outreach one young girl had the courage to run. This is the first of many dreams about to be rebuilt, in an area deeply affected by conflict #dreamwall #stoptrafficking #modernslavery

This is where the sex trade leads us:

“In a world where a woman is an object, what does it matter if she's treated roughly? In a world where a woman is not her own person, but a mere object for a man to extract pleasure from, what does her life matter?”
