Introduction


Activism is a word, which has a lot of associations, but the Seed uses it to describe it when people simply become active over an issue, and that's simply what we're all about. The Seed is active on the issue of exploring and reaffirming human worth independent of any exterior motivations, a natural extension of this we feel is combating people trafficking and prostitution where we live.

In the following sections you'll be able to gain access to some food for thought on what it could mean to become active in different ways on the issue. In reality though the only limit is your creativity, and even if you are limited in that respect that’s fine (!). We have examples of things you could do to get involved as a member of the Seed Network in the following pages too.




In the following pages you can access information, resources and for use in a variety of settings, to see a summary please click Resources on the menu above.

Community


At the root of the Seed Network is the idea of community and conversation. It's important to come together and talk about issues frankly and openly. What we're trying to encourage is all about getting community engaged on an issue, coming together as a result and defining community and the way we relate to those around us.

Check out the links below to access documents, which talk about the subject a little bit more extensively.

Education


For some of us we know a little too much about people trafficking or prostitution. For most of us though it's often something that is seen as 'out there' but nothing to do with me. The following has a look at exploring some of the hard facts and some of the stories linking into the topic of people trafficking and prostitution.

Use the links below to access documents giving you an introduction to the topic and links to where you can find out more on the subject.

Creativity


The Seed Network is a group of people who believe that we're all worth something regardless of what we do, what we say or who we are for a living. We believe this and in understanding it we find ourselves inspired to move and talk to people about it with a passion. When we don't have the words, or the words aren't enough we'll pick up something which helps communicate this is in different ways. We think that’s amazing, something beautiful and is so important.
