This weekend, the Justice Acts team was invited to the Healing Faith Community Church in Ocean View to present Traffick Proof. We presented the material to a classroom sized room and the response was amazing. They were stunned by the statistics of human traffick occurrences in South Africa and they greatly appreciated the information about how to recognise it, how to help prevent it by spreading the word, and how to report any suspicious activity.
It was a great opportunity to get to know the community a little better. There were a few people who came to speak with us afterwards to share some concerns, and also personal traumatic stories. We were touched by their honesty and vulnerability. They spoke openly about how their community has been destroyed by drugs and they do not want the same thing to happen with trafficking. It was such a honour to spend time with them.
We really hope that this will lead to other opportunities to present our material in Ocean View.
Traffick Proof was designed by Tonya Stanfield, founder of Justice Acts, as a tool to educate the most at-risk individuals in South Africa about the dangers of being trafficked. You can read more about our organisation's work at the following website: www.justiceacts.org
