Last week, pregnancy help centers were handed a new educational tool in the unceasing fight to eradicate human trafficking and restore dignity to victims around the world.
Heartbeat International—a global network of over 2,600 affiliated pregnancy help centers—launched the first-ever online course designed to help pregnancy centers assist victims of human trafficking on Tuesday.
The course, How to Identify and Assist Victims of Human Trafficking, is available through Heartbeat International Academy, an online educational platform which currently serves over 4,500 active students from pregnancy help centers around the world.
“Pregnancy help centers are vital first responders to this modern slavery,” said Betty McDowell, LAS, senior director of ministry services for Heartbeat International. “Drawing on expert research and stories from pregnancy centers with hands-on experience, this course equips centers to appropriately respond to this dangerous and dehumanizing practice, and to affirm the lives and dignity of victims in need.”
