About the #MyFreedomDay campaign

March 14, 2024 is #MyFreedomDay - an international campaign to raise awareness about human trafficking and slavery, organised by CNN International. The campaign invites young people, schools, individuals, and organisations around the world to participate in activities on this day of action to celebrate freedom and speak up and act out for those who are unable to and show their support on behalf of the 10 million boys and girls trapped in modern day slavery.

About #MyFreedomDay Dialogues

Dialogues around human trafficking can take us to the heart of what it means to be human; how we value each other and what our responsibilities are to one another as a race. Generation Global in collaboration with FREEST is organising special online global dialogues on the topic of human trafficking on #MyFreedomDay for young people aged 13 to 17.

These special dialogues will allow young people to share their different perspectives on the value of human life with one another and explore challenging questions around human trafficking by hearing real life experiences and building connections with their global peers.

The 60-minute virtual dialogues will be moderated by Generation Global's trained facilitators between 12 and 15 March 2024.
 

As part of these dialogues, young people will: 

·         Gain deeper knowledge and understanding on the issue of human trafficking   

·         Share their perspectives on the value of human life with their peers.  

·         Explore ways to raise awareness and protect each other and their communities. 

And educators will have the opportunity to: 

·         Provide a safe space for their learners to share their perspectives on Human Trafficking. 

·         Use our Human Trafficking resource to engage their learners in classroom activities.

·         Help their learners get involved in an international campaign to support a cause. 

All young people who participate in these special dialogues will receive a certificate of participation.
