LOVE WITHOUT Coersion
in a nutshell

„Loverboys“ or „Romeo pimps“ are young men who pretend to be in love with a girl or a young woman in order to lure or force her into prostitution later. This is a form of human trafficking.

The contents and materials on the website aim to inform and educate about the "Loverboy" tactic. The prevention program "Love without Coersion" can be implemented as a workshop by teachers and other persons with a pedagogical background. The name is meant to express that violence and coercion must never play a role in relationships, as is always the case in "Loverboy" relationships. Aspects of a healthy romantic relationship, increasing self-confidence, online safety and the topic of pornography are also addressed.

“The content of the workshop is fantastic and oriented to the life-styles of the students. I particularly liked the extremely professional execution of the entire program.

From the first planning phase everything was clear, agreements were kept, conditions and requirements were communicated in a timely manner. Everything went like clockwork!”

Jonas, 14, Student

“I liked that we talked a lot about Loverboys and had the methods explained to us so that we can protect ourselves. Thanks a lot!”

Christina D., Teacher

"The Loverboy tactic is a danger that can affect any student, regardless of her ethnic or social background. It is important to us to warn against it. We also want to encourage students to think about their own desires in and ideas of a healthy relationship and to strengthen their self-confidence. The material Love without Coercion serves this purpose in an excellent way! I am glad to have it as a resource."

Lea, 15, Student

"I liked that we learned how to increase our self-confidence and that the atmosphere was relaxed and the activities fun (videos, role-playing, etc.)."
