I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
— Mother Theresa
Children and young people play a critical role in the fight against human trafficking. By understanding the facts, they are empowered to take part in meaningful conversations about prevention, protection, and empowerment. Social media is a powerful platform where today’s youth express themselves—sharing their concerns, opinions, creativity, and ideas about the future in their own words.
But how crucial are young voices in raising awareness and shaping the world we live in? What kind of future do they envision, and what actions can they take to make it a reality? These are the important questions we seek to explore, highlighting the essential role of youth in creating a safer world free from human trafficking.

Our Instagram has a different theme every day. The ideas and formats came from the youth themselves – led by Kanza El-Diwany – which we found awesome! This is how it works:
#MondayMotivation / #Art4YU
An image by an Artist to start off the week with color, dreams, and optimism. The themes vary but will always involve a message of hope. We were pleased to have had Alyâa Kamel as our first artist to create artwork especially for us! We now feature artwork by Nadeen El Rashidi and youth quotes.
#TeamTuesday / #AboutUs
We first began this series by introducing our team. Today, we share our philosophy, why we focus on youth education to prevent human trafficking, and what we are trying to achieve as an Organization.
#WorldwideWednesday
A picture of a person from any region in the world, wearing our fair-trade T-shirt. Here, we explain the meaning of fair trade, the T-shirt as a “call to action” and the importance of slavery-free products.
#ThursdayThoughts / #YME
A shoutout to a person, an Organization, or a cause we feel is making a difference for the better – or we simply share ideas and messages we feel are important. #YME corresponds to “Why Me?” Why does this relate to me and what can I do about it?
#FactFriday / #DidYouKnow
Statistics, facts and figures about human trafficking. Our sources are essentially the United Nations and its agencies.
#SaturdaySnaps
Short videos to raise awareness about human trafficking – including survivor stories – or to share information about a project we are working on. You can also find these on our YouTube channel many of which feature our awesome video guru, Gulmohar Ahluwalia.
#SundaySeries / #HearMeOut
Sundays have, in many ways, become the highlight of our Instagram week. We share real testimonials by survivors of human trafficking. These are posted AS THEY ARE TOLD OR SHARED WITH US without any editing on our part. We use this day to listen and learn. The content may be considered raw and graphic. No sugarcoating here! But this is important for people – especially the youth – to understand what human trafficking is.
#YU… Why you?
Because you have a voice
and change is in your hands.
We are here to support you.
