What You Need to Have

Visayan Forum has been fighting human trafficking and modern slavery for over two decades. Through the years, it has acquired a wealth of knowledge on the issue just as it has developed several globally celebrated innovations based on real and on-the-ground realities and challenges. 

VF has documented these experiences and practices in several publications, manuals, infomercials, papers and educational videos. As VF endeavors to equip, train, and empower everyday individuals on combating trafficking in persons, it shares these materials in the hope that social innovators everywhere will find it useful as they take up the fight to end modern slavery. 

Here are the toolkits, manuals, papers, and videos in easy to download and use format.

Toolkits

Visayan Forum’s experience in working with various sectors and institutions has enabled it to look into the different strengths and challenges faced by each organization in the fight to end modern slavery. By helping agencies develop strategic plans and consequently building the capacity of its people, VF has been able to develop some toolkits in combating trafficking and modern slavery that specific institutions will find useful.

Videos

Visayan Forum believes in the power of multimedia in reaching out to a broad-spectrum clientele. As we endeavor to warn and educate those who are most vulnerable to trafficking and modern slavery, we created various infomercials that have been mounted and played on televisions and public address systems in transport terminals, as radio plugs in partner radio stations, screened at different venues – from campaigns in schools to high-level conferences and meetings, and shared through social media. These very videos have prompted many to take up the fight against human trafficking and modern slavery. Verily, these videos have captured the reality of this social menace and the challenges of fighting it, such that social innovators may find it useful in learning about human trafficking and how to combat it.

Here are some of these video-based educational materials. Videos
