The document outlines a multi-pronged approach called PEPSA to eradicate child sex trafficking in Thailand through education, policy changes, and community support. PEPSA's goals are to shift culture and decrease trafficking by rescuing victims, increasing awareness, and supporting reintegration. Key strategies include education programs in schools and medical clinics, advocacy for stronger anti-trafficking laws, economic interventions to reduce poverty, and partnerships between organizations. Progress will be measured by numbers of arrests, medical visits, cases prevented, and schools reached.
