Abstract
Organ harvesting is a serious and growing issue that affects many people around the world, including children. Organ trafficking and illegal harvesting of organs can lead to significant health risks and even death. Many children are not aware of the dangers of organ harvesting which make them vulnerable to organ harvesting. The Tale of Candyman: Organ Harvesting Prevention Kit is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of organ harvesting particularly among children. The word ‘candy’ is used because it is a common and alluring method used by traffickers towards children to start organ trafficking. The kit includes educational materials, such as infographics, flashcards, posters, a jar of organs, and an awareness pin. These materials cover a range of topics related to organ donation, the human body, and the dangers of organ trafficking. The kit uses fun and engaging activities to create awareness among children and encourage them to take steps to prevent organ harvesting. It is developed specifically for kids to inform them about the risks associated with child organ harvesting based on the materials provided. The Tale of Candyman was first launched on March 11, 2023, at the Contemporary Global and Legal Issues Exhibition 2023 (CoGLIEx), targeting pre-university students at Universiti Teknologi Mara, Kampus Dengkil. The kit has significant commercial potential and can be marketed to parents, educators, and organizations that work with children, such as schools. Therefore, the Tale of Candyman: Organ Harvesting Prevention Kit is an innovative and engaging educational tool that can help raise awareness and highlight the dangers of organ harvesting. It has the potential to make a positive impact on children's lives by educating them about the risks associated with organ trafficking and encouraging them to take action to prevent it.
