Week of October 4, 2004

Thursday October 14th - Conference on Strategies to Combat Human Trafficking in the US, Canada and Mexico - please go to www.kentlaw.edu/international to see the agenda for the day's events and to register if you want for the keynote luncheon or cocktail and film screening in the evening

Human trafficking is on the rise worldwide. Millions of people around the world live in the slave-like conditions of forced labor, commercial sexual exploitation or both. In the North American region alone, there are thousands of people trafficked across the borders to be exploited by others, and unaccounted numbers are moved within Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. The most vulnerable and unprotected become the victims and are forced into prostitution, domestic work, factory work, servile marriage, begging, participation in crimes and other activities that degrade their human nature and hurt or even kill them.

The conference will take place during the day in the auditorium and students are encourage to stop by and sit in at any time - even if you can't stay for the entire morning or afternoon session, don't hesitate to walk into the auditorium and take a seat.

After the academic conference, we will host a cocktail party and film screening to benefit the Midwest Immigrant and Human Rights Center (MIHRC) which does so much to help victims of human trafficking in our area.
