Human trafficking and specific treatments for survivors to recover once escaped and how to survive in such situations when unable to escape. Making such rehabilitation, counselling, and workshops are available to aid trafficking survivors readjust to society and life outside of abuse, that are appropriate to their age group, as well workshops to the loved ones of the survivor in order to make sure that they are treated with the respect and gentleness that the survivor needs at that point in time. Having workshops in which the survivor rediscovers and reclaims themselves, and their own body, with the understanding of hyper sexualization, or the complete rejection of sex, again appropriate to their age group, but also with understanding of either situation regardless of age. Teaching the general public about the warning signs of human trafficking at all of its stages to ensure that if spotted, especially during the earlier stages, that it will be noted and authorities will be ready to aid the person before they become a survivor. Specifically stating what “stranger danger” means to young children and how sometimes, the people that hurt you aren’t strangers at all. Having workshops that teach youths about coping strategies to stay sane and hopeful during such situations and how to aid yourself in the meanwhile as others try to rescue you. Such as how to maintain wellbeing despite lack of food or space to exercise, tips and tricks on how to stay uplifted during depressive episodes during bad situations, tricks on how to reveal your own location during the kidnapping and while remaining in such contained spaces. Ensuring that youths under parental or other types of abuse are carefully monitored and met up with on a regular basis by professionals, to make sure that kidnappers will have a lesser chance to target them because they are vulnerable.
