"The Pink Book" — collaborative design endeavour with YouCanFreeUs Foundation striving for a compassionate world. This publication unfolds in two volumes, each dedicated to the remarkable resilience of women on their journey towards healing.
The Pink Book is designed to work with young women who have been victims of sex trafficking and having survived this trauma are undergoing rehabilitation. The purpose of this curriculum is to educate these young women and provide them with the tools to heal and embrace a life of dignity, freedom and opportunity. The sessions are aimed at enabling each girl to be able to explore and enhance her capacities. It is a journey she takes to begin to love herself, respect her body, experience emotional healing, build awareness and develop the confidence to fulfil her aspirations. In this process, there are many things that she will unlearn too. She will unlearn that her body is no good anymore and that her life is spoilt. She will unlearn the dysfunctional definitions of family, friendship and love that she has learnt through negative experiences.
We have developed this based on our learning and experience over the last six years working with our beneficiaries who have been rescued from trafficking and undergone rehabilitation with us. The Pink Book has been created as a resource for organisations, government shelter homes, and professionals working with survivors towards their holistic healing, growth & development.
The Pink Book is our effort to empower these young girls with the skills they need in the journey to rebuild their lives; because, we believe that life stories can be rewritten!
