Situation
Research shows that young people who have been sexually exploited are more likely to become involved in, or continue to be involved in sex work as an adult. To try and tackle this issue, in 2011 Kairos WWT joined a partnership with The Children’s Society, CRASAC and Combat II to develop and deliver workshops about protective behaviours to young people aimed to raise awareness and reduce the risk of exploitation.
Solution
Sessions cover topics including grooming, respect and relationships, recognising dangerous situations, trafficking, myths and stereotypes, safe use of social media and consent. We would also like to develop a booklet available to young people and professionals to inform around the issues of sexual exploitation.
