TraffickingAware

In 2014, at a global faith leaders’ summit in Vatican City, Rome, Chancellor Mata Amritanandamayi joined Pope Francis in signing a universal declaration against slavery. AmritaCREATE has responded to Amma's declaration by using technology as a tool in the form of a gaming app.

“TraffickingAware” is designed to educate users about the different types of human trafficking and prevention of its crimes. This interactive game acquaints people with the various kinds and stages of trafficking- from recruitment to exploitation to escape. The app presents different scenarios in real life, leading one from recognizing types of trafficking, facing the virtual consequences of one’s choices, and showing how those choices can be avoided. Familiarizing users with potential dangers, the app enables them to recognize similar situations in everyday life and protect themselves and people around them.
