Notes for Educators:

This lesson is an opportunity for students to learn what separates healthy and unhealthy relationships and create awareness about exploitative behaviour in relationships. Human Trafficking relies on relationships of power, control and dependency and making students aware of this could significantly protect them from being exploited.
