Youth and Internet Safety During COVID-19
Humanitarian Disaster Institute
More than ever, children and teens are using the internet and social media as the
primary tool for social interaction and for school work. We may think human
trafficking is not happening in our own backyards; however, with the world on
the internet, the world is our backyard. It is essential that church leaders, parents, and those who work with children are informed about the realities of youth and internet safety. We must educate our communities about the tactics of traffickers online, help prevent human trafficking, and be equipped to be a part of the solution in ending it.
