SIERRA VISTA, AZ, USA, January 28, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- 4P Project, a non-profit dedicated to the eradication of slavery, officially launches it’s anti-human trafficking website in honor of Human Trafficking Awareness month. The website will deliver up-to-date international news feeds and host a candid collaborative forum both dedicated to educating the public about human trafficking and working together to end this practice.— Stephanie Ransom
As the rate of human trafficking victimization grows to nearly 36 million worldwide according to the Walk Free Global Slavery Index, awareness and collaboration become the pillars to a local and global solution supported by the fundamental international framework of the counter human trafficking “4P” paradigm to Protect, Prevent, Prosecute and Partner against slavery. The “4P” framework is the source of 4P Project’s mission statement and the driving force of their website offerings which create awareness and build collaborative relationships.
The 4P Project website1 serves as a single-source for information via relevant, reliable international news sources. The news categories include; Breaking News, Sex Trafficking, Forced Labor, Legislation, Corporate Social Responsibility, Education & Travel. With additional funding and public support, 4P Project aspires to create a more specialized news outlet with in-depth news articles and a staff dedicated to reporting human trafficking news from local to international sources.
In support of collective solutions, the website also hosts an online, open forum2 committed to candid collaborative conversation focused on all aspects of human trafficking. The open and closed forums serve as a platform for generating ideas, sharing thoughts and simply conversing about modern day slavery. According to 4P Project Co-founder Stephanie Ransom, feeling safe is a priority on the forum. “The closed forums are dedicated to survivors-only or specialty groups such as law enforcement in order to provide private communication without reproach.”
As a result, 4P Project is setting an aggressive list of goals to directly impact human trafficking victims and survivors, “Our mission affords us the opportunity to impact every facet of the human trafficking world as part of the solution,” said Jessica Vincent, Co-founder of 4P Project. She added, “Through collaboration we will improve lives, we have to because one victim is enough.” The upcoming projects will encompass all four “Ps” by hosting survivor career fairs in major metropolitan communities, offering life skills scholarships, publishing sex trafficking health education materials, and supporting proposed legislation. Through a vast network of partnerships and donations3, 4P Project is certain to succeed.
The nonprofit, 4P Project was co-founded by the mother-daughter team of Stephanie Ransom, a tenured sales and marketing professional and Jessica Vincent, a 17-year U.S. Army veteran. The current board members are specialists from a variety of professional backgrounds providing 4P Project comprehensive expertise; Meredith Jaecks, Education Specialist; Rick Kellar, Nonprofit Professional; Karen Rolley, Prosecutor; and Dan Sparks, Federal Agent (retired).
