Waives Ticket Charges for Human Trafficking Conference 

Transcription from �UofL Waives Ticket Charges for Human Trafficking Conference on Wednesday� 
From WHAS-11, January 15, 2013
(Claudia - on Camera): �The University of Louisville is removing the $15 ticket charges from tomorrow evening�s conference on human trafficking. It�s called �Modern Day Slavery: Breaking the Chains� �sponsored by UofL�s Women 4 Women student chapter. Among the guest speakers for the event � Theresa Flores � who was coerced into trafficking and slavery while living in an upper-middle class suburb of Detroit. At Just 15 years old, she was drugged, raped, and tortured for two years. But stories like Flores� are more common than you think. That�s why students at UofL wanted to raise awareness of human trafficking.�

(Emma Chapman - UofL Junior): �Trafficking does happen around the world, even in Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville is actually a hub of trafficking, and it could be literally happening in your backyard.� 

(Claudia - on Camera): �The conference is tomorrow night from six until eight at the Red Barn on the Belknap Campus. The $15 ticket fee has been waived. We�ve got more information on our website WHAS-11 dot com, just click on the �On TV� tab.�
