Tiivistelmä
This thesis project aims to present a guidebook on how to instruct movement classes for the survivors of female sex trafficking. There are many ways to help survivors in their recovery process, and I see movement as a helpful tool among other therapeutic tools. I strongly argue about the benefits of movement to the survivors and recommend that it should be used more as a professional tool in the social sector field. With this thesis project, I hope to highlight the global phenomenon of female sex trafficking and encourage and help the professionals working with the survivors to use movement classes in their work.
My work-life partner for the thesis project was Vapauta Uhri Ry. Vapauta Uhri Ry works mainly in Cyprus, where their day centre helps the survivors and their families to recover from the trafficking experience. In Cyprus, movement methods have been used with the survivors of female sex trafficking. This experience from the employees of Vapauta Uhri Ry has helped to cultivate this guidebook.
The guidebook, "Recovery through movement," is a tool for professionals who work with survivors of female sex trafficking. With the guidebook, the professionals can instruct movement classes considering the participants' unique situation. The guidebook consists of clear and straightforward instructions to make the classes enjoyable and easy to instruct.
My thesis project consisted of four phases: initiating, planning, executing, and closing the project. I wrote my thesis alone and completed all project phases independently. Evaluation and final words are included in this thesis. I aim my guidebook to professionals working with the survivors of female sex trafficking. I wish that the potential instructors learn about movement methods through this thesis and guidebook.
