Today is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.

This year's theme,"Trapped Behind the Scam," highlights the growing number of people who are trafficked through fake job offers and forced into online scam operations under threats, coercion, and violence. [un.org], [unodc.org]

At Pace, we recognize that human trafficking is a form of violence and exploitation that can have profound impacts on survivors. By raising awareness, supporting survivors, and learning the warning signs, we can help build safer communities.

WHO DO YOU TELL?™ WORKSHOP

Every child deserves to grow up knowing that their body belongs to them, that abuse is never their fault, and that there are safe adults they can turn to for help.

PACE's Who Do You Tell?™ Workshop is a long-standing, research-based prevention program designed to teach children ages 6-12 important personal safety skills in an age-appropriate, supportive environment.

Through this engaging workshop, children will learn:
- Their bodies belong to them
- Child sexual abuse is never a child's fault
- How to identify and tell a trusted adult when something doesn't feel right

For more than 30 years, this professionally facilitated program has helped empower children with knowledge, confidence, and safety skills that can make a lasting difference in their lives.
