"I can't live in Thailand anymore"

By Boom Mosby | Director

Last month our social worker got a text from a former victim of online sexual exploitation/human trafficking. Her court case completed 3 years ago but the effect of the abuse is still new to her. She often text our social worker and needed someone to talk with everytime she got trigger. She has been living back and fourt between ovesee and Thailand since the case was completed in court.

Our social worker called her back and provided support for her. She said that she is moving oversea because she does not feel safe here. Everytime she comes back she feels that people remember her face. She scares to go out and felt depressed and feel hopeless. Her photos and videos has been use by bad people who use her photos to create fake account to scam other boys or girls and it became a never ending story. Our social woker not only provide comfort and listen to her. Our team also contact social media representatives and got her connect to the "Take it down" website. Take it down is a campaign initiate by The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is the United States’ largest and most influential child protection organization.

Update on HUG Project Support for Counseling

By Boom Mosby | Director

At present, we are assisting a 16-year-old girl who has unfortunately fallen victim to online sexual abuse. This alarming case was identified in a nearby province, underscoring the importance of our presence and efforts in this region. With the immediate intervention of the HUG Project, we were able to ensure her safety and then transition her under the care of a shelter home situated in Chiang Mai.

Although she now resides with a foster family, the crucial supervision and assistance from the shelter home staff continue to be instrumental in her journey to recovery. However, a distressing incident unfolded as her younger brother engaged in online sexual misconduct. This occurrence prompted a collective response involving the parents, social workers from the shelter home, and our dedicated HUG Project social worker.

Following a comprehensive team meeting, it was important to adapt the victim's environment to a home schooling arrangement. Recognizing the potential psychological toll of such traumatic events on adolescents, a decision was made to facilitate her access to a specialized counselor. This expert professional offers tailored support to address her mental well-being, focusing on mitigating the stress, pressure, and depression that adolescents in similar situations often encounter.

The HUG Project has taken the responsibility of covering the cost of counseling thanks to the donations from YOU. Each counseling session amounts to 1,000 baht, and we have conducted five sessions thus far.

We are profoundly grateful for your steadfast support in our mission to provide a safe haven and comprehensive assistance to survivors of such harrowing experiences. Your donations are an essential driving force behind our ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.
