White Van Campaign

The White Van campaign is a bold nationwide initiative from Shared Hope International that exposes how traffickers target and exploit children. Using the white van—a symbol long linked to abduction—the campaign delivers a stark reminder: traffickers have adapted, and today most exploitation happens online, right where kids spend their time.

Online exploitation is one of the fastest-growing ways traffickers target and manipulate children. Predators use social media, gaming platforms, messaging apps, and even seemingly innocent websites to identify vulnerable youth, groom them with charm and promises, and coerce them into sexual exploitation or trafficking. Unlike physical abduction, this manipulation often happens in private, behind screens, making it harder for parents, teachers, or peers to notice the warning signs until it’s too late.

Through eye-opening videos, social media outreach, and educational resources, the campaign empowers parents, communities, and professionals to recognize the warning signs, understand the methods traffickers use, and take action before a child becomes a victim. White Van isn’t just about raising awareness—it’s about sparking action, inspiring vigilance, and protecting children in every neighborhood from the hidden dangers that too often go unseen.
