Child Rights Training
Each year, more than 1,000 women and men in Haiti graduate from our Child Rights Training. Using an interactive, dialogue-based curriculum developed in Haiti called Education is a Conversation (ESK), a group of 12-15 neighbors spend six-months meeting weekly to discuss topics like corporal punishment, sexual abuse, and child slavery. In this transformative exploration, participants learn about the rights of children, the dangers of sending their children away, how to raise awareness among family, friends, and neighbors, and how to create public accountability to protect and defend the rights of children. Upon completion, participants become Child Rights Activists in their neighborhoods.
Child Protection Brigades
After neighbors graduate from Child Rights Training, these new Child Rights Activists come together to create volunteer, neighborhood Child Protection Brigades that are the first-line of defence for vulnerable children in their neighborhoods.
Adult Survivor Network
We’re convening more than 500 adult survivors in peer dialogue groups, with the goal to help them overcome the stigma associated with those who’ve lived through child slavery and organize themselves to speak out against the practice. Members have launched an advocacy effort to empower fellow adult survivors to find their voice and play a leading role in ending child slavery.
