2012 Human Trafficking Awareness Conference
Many Americans think that human trafficking is something that happens only overseas. The Women 4 Women Student Chapter raised awareness about this modern-day slavery issue in Louisville and encouraged students and the public to become involved in efforts to make other people aware of the problem and to help stop it. The Human Trafficking Conference was held on Jan. 19, 2012.
Speakers included:
