We spent years developing and piloting Not a Number, our interactive prevention curriculum.

Our US Prevention Education is centered around Not a Number, an interactive five-lesson human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation prevention curriculum. It guides youth to explore their own vulnerabilities, showing them how a trafficker might use those vulnerabilities to take advantage of them, and how they can get help and navigate to safety. Much of what makes Not a Number distinctive comes directly from our work with survivors. Survivors are our best resource for being aware of emerging trends, such as how apps and other technology are being used to exploit children. By listening to survivors, we have worked to ensure that our curriculum accurately represents real-world risk factors and considers all genders as potential victims. Designed for multiple settings including schools, juvenile justice agencies, residential facilities, and other community settings, Not a Number includes stories and activities for co-ed, female, male, and/or LGBTQ+ groups.

Not a Number is based in strong program theory and research on best practices in similar violence prevention education curricula. We have also developed an app to track outcomes. With this data, and real-time input from our social workers, we are able to keep the prevention training up to date, and keep Not a Number fresh and relevant for youth.
