Conference to Bring Awareness on Human Trafficking in Louisville

The University of Louisville Women's Center and Women 4 Women Student Board are raising awareness of human trafficking in Kentucky to educate students and the community about the complex issues of human trafficking and to encourage the community to take action to prevent it.

The 6th Annual Human Trafficking Awareness Conference will be 5:00pm - 9:00pm February 2nd, 2016 in the Swain Student Activities Center Multipurpose-Room on the Belknap Campus. Doors open at 5:00pm with a resource fair and dinner until 6:15pm.

Representatives from various community and campus organizations will be on hand to distribute information on resources for victims of human trafficking and survivors and provide information on how the community can get involved.

Admission is free and open to the public. Register to reserve a seat and a meal. Meals are also available for purchase at Subway, Wendy's and Papa John's in the Swain Student Activities Center lower level. Paid parking is available in the Floyd Street Parking Garage and on the street in surrounding areas.

Donations are gladly accepted. We will also be collecting toiletries and personal hygiene items at the conference which will be donated to the Kristy Love Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims of human trafficking and addiction to drugs and alcohol here in Louisville.
