Protect Us Kids serves to protect youth from online commercial sex trafficking. We fight to protect all youth, especially those living within under-served and rural areas globally.
Criminals that prey on youth from disadvantaged and rural communities online tend to operate under the radar because they employ methods that exploit cultural, behavioral and societal traits that are unique to such victims, but outside of the mainstream, and are therefore not highlighted by most cybersecurity awareness programs. In support of our mission, Protect Us Kids Foundation has the following key contributing goals: Formally engage with humanitarian organizations, corporations, and international governments, to work collectively towards addressing the continued liability and legal challenges in human trafficking prevention in cyberspace and the effects of globalization and forced servitude. Support the establishment of innovative, yet ethically sound, data governance measures that serve to protect and maintain the confidentiality of personal data within the humanitarian environment. Protect Us Kids Foundation is currently researching these exploitative methods, many of which encourage runaways, promote human trafficking and slavery, ensnare youth in child-pornography rings and lead to the prostitution, kidnapping, abduction and murder of young people. Our focus is to provide youth from internationally disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, and surrounding communities, with critical life-saving tools on how to navigate cyberspace without falling victim to child predators and exploiters.
Mission: Protect Us Kids Foundation was founded in 2008 with a global mission to advocate human trafficking awareness and drive strategic partnerships in support of developing cybersecurity international standards, guidelines and best practices. We also serve to drive the development of innovative technologies and solutions that can be leveraged towards protecting human trafficking victims in cyberspace; specifically in ending sexual violence, exploitation and abuse against children.

We are excited to announce a new interactive and innovative feature produced and created by our Youth Life Program: Teen Talk. Teen Talk is a series of videos where our teenage volunteers (Faith, Hope, and Truth) discuss their experiences with difficult and challenging situations whilst online and using social media. As well as answering important questions and discussing hard hitting facts, they also give out practical advice and useful tips for children of all ages to help them learn from others experience. This week: Sextortion. - How can you tell when someone is a predator? - What would you do if someone threatened to post a sexual picture of you without consent? - Does posting sexual images get you more followers? Our Youth Life Program encourages kids to volunteer their time in order to educate, create awareness, and facilitate important discussion amongst young adults their own age. Through peer-to-peer interaction we hope to help children keep themselves safe from online exploitation. If you have a question for Faith, Hope and Truth or would like to become a Youth Life Volunteer, please email: [email protected]. 🔵🧡 Find videos 2 & 3 on our YouTube channel: http://ow.ly/Eumc50AXH1w #protectuskids #cybercrime #HumanTrafficking #cybersecurity
