One line manager during a FACT Training shared a story about a relative that ended up in a human trafficking situation. His brother-in-law’s family were poor and lived very difficult lives.  One day, the family was approached by a young man offering a job with a high salary for their 16-year-old daughter. As they saw the job would provide an opportunity to better their lives, they agreed to let their daughter go with him. When she got into the car, she met several others who were also promised the same thing. They called their families as they felt unsafe and were then rescued by police.

Factory management and workers alike appreciate how FACT training puts them at the center of the learning experience through activities such as storytelling. The fun and engaging curriculum is tailored to be highly relatable to their lives and makes them feel engaged. They tend to enter the training with relatively low levels of knowledge on modern slavery and leave with expotentially higher understanding on how they can actively protect themselves and their communities. T, a manager from Regina Miracle Vietnam, personally supported a four day training of 3700 employees and was impressed that so many workers were raising their hands to actively participate. She highlighted how important the training was and was grateful that their company was selected by their brand to receive FACT training.

T, a factory worker, credited PAXU’s unique calculators with helping her make safer migration decisions by teaching her about different salaries and living costs around the world. Previously, she was planning to find a job abroad but completely changed her mind after using the app. “I was so excited about the job opportunity that I ignored the potential risks. PAXU helped me better evaluate it and I decided not to go. It takes courage to make tough decisions and I think I was brave not to take the job.”

“I found PAXU’s Budgeting and Insights section particularly useful for my daily life. As a student living away from home, I find it important to properly manage my savings and expenses and am grateful that there is an app to help me with this. The Insight articles also help me improve my skills and better understand issues such as human trafficking and forced labor. I think this information will help me be better prepared for the workforce as I will graduate soon and will need to look for a job.”
