It's Global and It's Local: Human Trafficking

Posted At : May 4, 2012 8:14 PM

Director Sherry Ludwig reports that over 130 educators, students, experts, victims and like-minded community groups gathered at the San Diego County Office of Education on Sat, April 28, to explore the 3 P's of human trafficking: prevention, prosecution and protection. The workshop was a full day community conference on human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of women and children in San Diego.

The day began with a screening of the film, Indoctrinated: The Grooming of Our Children into Prostitution (by Jim Ellis), and continued with education panelists, presentations on global Issues, law enforcement experts and ended with a panel on rescue and restore. The film and its accompanying study guide are available for a minimal cost of $8 to cover duplication and mailing. To download the order form click HERE.

Kudos to Anne Hoiberg and Myrra Lee, workshop organizers and longtime activists in support of human trafficking awareness, and to all members of the La Mesa-El Cajon and San Diego Branches who helped to make the day such a success. The workshop was supported in part by an AAUW CA mini-grant and a contribution from the International Advocacy Program budget.

News About International Advocacy Events

Posted At : April 20, 2012 10:08 AM

Jane Roberts, our Convention workshop presenter for Gender Inequality: A Moral Dilemma, left us with many facts and figures to think about regarding over population and poverty. She's a wealth of information about the connection between poverty, maternal well-being, and human trafficking. We were so pleased to see 45 conference goers in the audience and regret that we couldn't accommodate more of you. When Jane returns from the AAUW NY Convention in Rochester, we are planning to send out her book to all of you who did not receive one. If you did not sign the sheet that was passed around, please contact me or Susan Crabtree at our Sacramento Office. You can find out about Jane and her organization by going to www.34millionfriends.org. Thank you for your dollar contributions during convention, which totaled more than $700.

Next weekend is the presentation of It's Global and It's Local: Human Trafficking in San Diego.
