Help fight human trafficking from your living room!
With conflict and natural disasters regularly featuring on the news, it can all feel a little overwhelming at times despite our burning desire to reach out and make a difference.
Human trafficking can sometimes feel a little like that, too. The Huffington Post and
The Polaris Project report over 20 million people living under slavery in 2014 and, of this incredible total, 15, 000 people are being trafficked annually in the United States alone. And that number is only set to rise.
So where do you start, and how can you make a difference?
The answer is right here, right now
.... by helping support the “Together Let’s Stop Traffick” collaborative Summit in Los Angeles, California from Nov 9-12, 2015.
No one wants to be that consumer unwittingly buying anything from shrimp to sneakers that can be traced back to slave labor
‘Ensuring Supply Chain Integrity’ is the 2015 conference theme, and it hits home on every level of our daily lives.
But things are changing, thanks to the work of the kind of delegates who will attend Together Let’s Stop Traffick – professionals from the worlds of law enforcement, NGOs (non-government organizations), victim support, border agencies, business and academia,
all focused on helping bring an end to human trafficking.
The Summit will bring together some of the best minds active on the front line of combating human trafficking.
Speakers such as Leif Coorlim, Editorial Director of CNN’s “Freedom Project”; Dr Geeta Sekhon, (UN global consultant, Delhi); Peter Vonk, from the Netherlands’ Federal Department
of Social Affairs and Employment: Investigation Division, and Special Agent Ryan Blay from the FBI in Phoenix.
"I invite you to hone your skills, sharpen your craft and take the things that you learmed here today back to your home jurisdiction and bring some of the most vile and evil human beings on the face of this planet to
justice."—J. Robert Leslie, Deputy Attorney General, West Virginia, Speaker: Together Let's Stop Traffick 2014
