Prevention programs

We work to prevent human trafficking and associated violence within vulnerable populations, approaching the problem at its source. We go to where the victims are in order to reach them- to the streets, the plazas, and the migrant detention centers.

Through our prevention programs we were able to reach almost

48,000 beneficiaries

in 2019 alone

Prevention work with

This is the newest project of El Pozo de Vida. It focuses on the male population to combat issues of machismo, gender violence, the demand for prostitution, and toxic masculinity. We intervene in communities by giving workshops to confront stereotypes and gender roles, along with cultural, social and religious paradigms, to offer a new definition of masculinity.

Prevention work with

Migrants

This program detects and supports victims of human trafficking and child sexual abuse within immigration detention centers and migrant houses in Central America. We educate adults on their increased vulnerability to human trafficking and how they can avoid becoming victims. Through art therapy, we guide them in processing their journey and their trauma, allowing them to look to the future with hope. For children, we carefully address the subject of abuse, using stories, games and activities designed to teach them how to speak out loud and prevent abuse in their own lives.

· Detection of human trafficking victims
