PREVENTINGHUMAN TRAFFICKING STARTS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSEST TO THOSE AT RISK. The more they know, the better they can protect. That’s why, since January 2025, the young ambassadors of Talitha Kum Morocco have been on a mission—equipping frontline volunteers with the knowledge and tools they need to recognize, respond to and prevent human trafficking.
Their focus has been the dedicated volunteers of La Cigogne-Caritas Morocco, an organization that provides material, health and psychological support to migrants in precarious situations. Over the course of three interactive training sessions, the team explored some of the most pressing issues surrounding trafficking in Morocco, covering:
• The different forms of human trafficking specific to Morocco.
• Recognizing the warning signs that someone might be a victim of human trafficking.
• The psychosocial approach to supporting victims and potential victims.
• Victims’ rights and Morocco’s legal frameworks on human trafficking.
• How to report cases and ensure victim protection.
Beyond the training sessions, this initiative became a learning experience for the young ambassadors as well. It gave them insight into how La Cigogne-Caritas Morocco reaches out to migrants and supports them in their daily struggles. Through discussions and real-life case studies, they deepened their understanding of the challenges on the ground, making the sessions even more impactful for everyone involved.
Then came a particularly special moment. On March 8th, International Women’s Rights Day, the team had the privilege of meeting migrant women, listening to their stories and standing in solidarity with them. Marking a powerful way to conclude this phase of the journey—a strong reminder of why this work matters.
The response to the training was overwhelmingly positive, reaffirming the need for more initiatives like this. Encouraged by the success, Talitha Kum Morocco is looking ahead, determined to expand this project to more organizations and reach even more people on the frontlines.
Because when knowledge is shared, lives can be changed.
