Key Information

SYSTERM, is DEPDC’s newest initiative to combating trafficking at the grassroots level. In the wake of the Myanmar crisis, DEPDC/GMS believes SYSTERM is a positive step to trafficking prevention in the unreachable areas of Shan state. The goal is to train 100 at-risk Shan youth in safe migration, life-saving skills, nonprofit management, social and emotional learning, basic English and Thai, and leadership skills so that these young adults can return to their own communities and begin their own grassroots movements that can effectively challenge the obstacles specific to each region of Shan state.
