Notes for Educators:
This lesson plan focuses on child sexual exploitation and human trafficking. For many students, this might be their first time discussing this topic. Please take some time to review the resources on our website to prepare. Discussions on how some groups might be more vulnerable to being Sexually Exploited will be part of this lesson plan. Be ready to challenge any stereotyping or victim-blaming, and rather focus on the importance of questioning the systematic marginalization of certain groups.
