Public Education <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Public education is a core part of our work in Hong Kong. Over the past three years, we deepened our local engagement by organizing over 80 sharing sessions and events across corporations, schools, churches, and seminaries\u2014reaching more than 5,800 individuals. These gatherings served as powerful platforms to raise awareness about modern slavery and human trafficking, while inviting communities to take meaningful action. Whether through educational talks, interactive workshops or lunch & learn events, we witnessed growing momentum among friends in Hong Kong to stand against violence and exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
