Hug Project 2024 Achievements:
Dear supporters, Happy New Year! As we now approach 2025, The Hug Project Thailand would like to express our utmost gratitude for your contributions which have allowed us to assist and equip many cases throughout the year. Without your generosity, none of these accomplishments would have been possible.
Providing Direct Support to Victims
In 2024 we have dedicated hundreds of hours to supporting victims. Those hours were targeted toward psychosocial services, therapeutic recreation, and counseling services with most of the hours being towards psychosocial services. This year has proved more difficult with the flood of different cases we have been a part of, some being extremely mentally and physically challenging.
Equipping Ourselves and Others
This year we have been blessed with different opportunities to train prosecutors and social workers involved in trauma-informed justice practices. With our experience, we were able to empower professionals and the unequipped to best ensure victims' needs are met with understanding and care. Furthermore, with your help, we worked closely with private hospitals to secure medical care for victims and equip counselors with tools and training to provide specialized care for our victims.
A formidable case towards the end of this year occurred with a young girl, a victim of sexual abuse. With your generosity, this young girl has received professional counseling for the last three months after enduring extreme sexual abuse by her father. Though her case remains severe, your support has ensured that she has access to medical and mental health resources that will allow her to take steps toward healing.
Innovative and Localized Initiatives
On an exciting note, during a trip to Kohn Kaen, a prosecutor's office asked us for an anatomical doll to be used for interviews by victims of sexual assault. We collaborated with local artisans to create these anatomical dolls in Kohn Kaen, as they are not universally sold. Anatomical dolls are not widely known, but has been beneficial for us and others to understand what happened to the victim, especially with kids. These dolls serve as valuable tools that allow young victims to communicate their experiences of abuse in a safe and supportive manner.
Looking Ahead
Your generosity has been the foundation of our success this year. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without your support. Together, we have made a lasting impact on the lives of countless children and we look forward to continue helping more and continuing this vital work with you by our side.
On behalf of The Hug Project, thank you for believing in our mission and supporting our drive to help others and bring hope and healing to those who need it most.
With gratitude,
The Hug Project Thailand.
