Bachelor in Human Rights
I decided to volunteer after researching and learning about the rapidly growing global problem of human trafficking. The night café provides a great opportunity to connect with others and talk to them about these issues, helping to generate ideas and a space for advocacy for victims.

Teaching team
Nicoline Lindberg Kaufmann
Bachelor's student in Journalism and Social Sciences at RUC
I volunteer on the teaching team because I am passionate about communicating important topics. I study journalism and social sciences on a daily basis, and as part of the team I get the opportunity to use my skills in practice, while constantly learning something new. I hope that our teaching can make more young people more knowledgeable about human trafficking, because it is still a topic that many people know very little about. Through the teaching, I want to help create greater awareness, understanding and commitment.

Thor Haugaard Jensen
Deputy Emergency Services Inspector at the Capital Emergency Services
My involvement in EXIST began during my internship for the Disaster and Risk Management program. From the start, it was clear how big a problem human trafficking is, and what extensive work EXIST does to educate and prevent this. The cause was too important to leave, which is why I volunteer at EXIST.
