Reclaiming human dignity

Who is Arthy?

“I was born into poverty near the tea plantations in southern India where I had no voice, no choice, and was told I didn’t deserve to dream. A man took advantage of my desperation and trapped me in human trafficking. I felt lost. My hopes were shattered, and my shame kept me silent.” - Arthy, a survivor.

When Arthy joined the community at the Dignity Education Center, she discovered acceptance and respect, finally experiencing her God-given dignity! IDEAS’ Human Trafficking Prevention program gave her the tools to reclaim her story and support women in her community who are at risk.

“Now, I am determined to protect others from the pain and abuse I’ve experienced. No one was there to help me escape trafficking, but with IDEAS training, I can inspire change."

A glance through a window changed everything

It could have been me.

“The first time I visited a brothel, I fell on my knees and cried, ‘Lord, where are you?’ Then, I saw him, Jesus, on the far side of the room with a young woman weeping. That day changed my life!” - Gabrielle Thompson, CEO/President of IDEAS

Community development + anti-human trafficking

IDEAS community development serves as the foundation for all our programs. We start by listening. In IDEAS, we work by understanding the needs of the local communities to provide protection and prevention to those most at risk of being trafficked.

  • “Now we understand the traffickers and how to protect ourselves and keep ourselves and our children safe. We now know how to help others who are trapped by traffickers. We want to start a help line to save others.”

  • “This training has helped us understand our situation. I did not know I was trapped. And now I understand I’ve been trapped. I now understand the reality and can do something about it.”

    Training Participant, India

  • "For the first time I found community and belonging. I’m received as I am. I’m not alone anymore. Now I am safe. Now I am something and somebody. I have hope and community, and I have freedom to dream.”

    Arthy, India

  • “We are planning to help the women on the tea plantations with what we have learned because they are very isolated and alone, and they have no one.”

IDEAS’ transformational community development approach addresses the root challenges and structural injustices that create the vulnerabilities that lead to trafficking. The way to change the face of trafficking is stop it before it happens.
