Keynote Address:Sandra Morgan
Sandie Morgan will introduce us to the 4 “Ps,” in the work of eliminating Human Trafficking: Prevention, Protection, Prosecution and Partnership. Sandie is the Director of Vanguard University’s Global Center for Women and Justice and also teaches Women’s Studies, Family Violence, and Human Trafficking. She recently served as Administrator of the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force in the battle against the modern slave trade.
Panel of Child Survivors of Human Trafficking:
Former child slaves, now adults, share their compelling stories.
The Roadies:
The Roadies form the non-profit Invisible Children. These storytellers, visionaries, humanitarians, artists, and entrepreneurs are young adults eager for change and willing to pursue it. They were inspired by young filmmakers who traveled to Africa in search of adventure, but were transformed when they discovered the tragedy of the child soldier. These Roadies are volunteers who are committed to educating and inspiring others to act alongside Invisible Children to end Africa’s 25-year conflict with the Lord’s Resistance Army.
Global Reality:
A representative from the U.S. State Department will address the different forms of Child Slavery that exist in our world today. She/he will identify places where Child Slavery can be found and the products that result from this violation of human rights.
Action:
There will be an opportunity to hear from one another about existing efforts to raise awareness and prevent human trafficking. There will be time to explore actions that can support and unite us in furthering our work to eliminate modern day slavery.
