Teens promote human trafficking awareness

The AWOL teens shared information on sex trafficking, bonded labour, organ trafficking and recruitment of young adults via social media with members of the public.

TEENAGERS involved in the 2016 AWOL (A Work Of Love) project teamed up with Freedom Generation SA to spread awareness about the dangers of human trafficking, during a campaign at Boardwalk Inkwazi Shopping Centre on Friday.

The campaign was spearheaded by Pastor Caroline Pitout of Freedom Generation SA in partnership with the SAPS and other stakeholders.

The AWOL teens shared information on sex trafficking, bonded labour, organ trafficking and recruitment of young adults via social media with members of the public.

Youngsters promoting the campaign were attending the annual AWOL event last week where approximately 200 school going teenagers camped in Empangeni.

The teens come together every year to build relationships as well as to receive practical and spiritual input that equips them for life.

They also share God’s love in the community of Empangeni, Richards Bay and surrounding areas by tackling various projects or outreaches that are organised and run by the local churches – a work of love.
