Together We Can Fight to End Exploitation - Professionals who work with youth
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27 - this VIRTUAL program begins at 6:30 p.m. CST
In support of Human Trafficking Awareness month, Fight to End Exploitation (FEE) will lead two programs to raise awareness of human trafficking in Wisconsin. The January 27 program will be geared to professionals who work with youth; the January 28 program will be aimed at parents, teens and the general public.
Both programs will begin with a screening of the documentary “Nameless” that addresses child sex trafficking. Through interviews with experts, advocates and activists, child sex trafficking is reframed as a form of sexual violence that is often made invisible. According to Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, since 2013, sex trafficking cases have notably increased.
The film will be followed by a presentation and Q&A session with panel members:
- Karri Hemmig, FEE Co-Founder; Racine Police Department Human Trafficking Support Specialist
- Neal Lofy, FEE Co-Founder; Racine Police Department investigator assigned as a Special Federal Officer on the FBI Wisconsin Human Trafficking Task Force
- Melania Brostowitz, FEE Executive Director; Program Moderator
Fight To End Exploitation is a 501(c)(3) organization that exists to end human trafficking through three Key Pillars: Prevention, Intervention and Restoration. As a recognized statewide leader, FEE advocates for victims and survivors through multidisciplinary collaboration and educates the community using research-based evidence.
The 48-minute documentary, “Nameless,” is not rated; due to the nature of the content, it may not be suitable for all viewers.
