THE ROLE

Protect Us Kids Foundation (PUK) is currently researching the behavioral and socioeconomic factors involved in how technology is used to support cyber-related crime against at-risk youth. The Cross-Cultural Storyteller holds a vital role in crafting narratives that transcend cultural boundaries, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by at-risk youth in a digital world.

PUK programs are centered on the unique cultural, behavioral, and societal aspects of underserved, rural and marginalized communities that have afforded criminals an increased opportunity to exploit children leveraging technology. Our programs align to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and support global partnership efforts towards combating human trafficking; to include developing critical targeted research of Online Child Sexual Exploitation (OCSE) against youth within this demographic globally. Our programs include:

• Academic Outreach, Training and Development
• Collaboration & Intelligence
• Health Affairs and Sexual Assault Advocacy & Outreach
