It is our belief that education is the key to stop the demand and prevent human trafficking.
When we are not actively rescuing or interacting with survivors, the Rahab’s Daughters team is in the community providing education about human trafficking. Our founders, Sharmila (Sam) Wijeyakumar and Dr. Rev. Denardo Ramos, offer several trainings and keynote talks that can shed light on the complex world of human trafficking.
All our lectures can be presented to community groups and businesses, including:
- Hospitals
- Healthcare Professionals
- Churches and religious organizations
- Schools
- Institutions of Higher Education
- Community Groups (Mommy & Me; Mom’s Groups; Moms of teens groups; Parenting Groups; Men’s Groups; Dad’s Groups)
- Sporting Groups
- Law Enforcement
- Corporations and their Execs & Sales Teams
- Financial institutions
- Housing Association
- Realtors
- Community Organizations – Rotary, Lions, Networking groups, etc.
- Businesses (Hotels; Motels; Airlines; Supply chains; Restaurants; Convenience stores; Gas Stations; Truck stops; Hair/Nail Salons; Financial institutions
