Here are some highlights for
our upcoming Human Trafficking Conference.
Join us at the Dearborn Convention Center on October 15th-16th.
Survivors Speak
Out--Labor and sexual victims who started the long journey to survival will recount
their experiences. They’ll describe what
was of value to them along the journey and what was not as helpful.
Coleen Owens
from Washington DC will be a key note speaker addressing the chronicles of
labor traffickers who commit crimes against workers in agriculture, domestic
work, hotels, and construction.
Becca Stevens
from Thistle Farms-Magdalene, in Nashville, Tenn. will also be a key note
speaker. She is one of the premiere speakers in the United States working with
communities of women who have survived human trafficking, prostitution, and
addiction.
Bridgette Carr Professor and Director of the world-wide renowned Trafficking Clinic at the
University of Michigan Law School will be speaking at the Conference on
"Myths surrounding human trafficking and how this harms victims".
