Human Trafficking Documentary and Q&A

Join us for a documentary and Q&A on sex trafficking in America designed to raise awareness and initiate change. The event will showcase the documentary "Very Young Girls." The film follows the work of Rachel Lloyd, a former sexually exploited youth-turned-activist who started the organization GEMS (Girls Educational and Mentoring Services) in New York to help victimized young women escape trafficking situations. The films follows ten teenage girls at different stages in the transition out of trafficking. The hope is viewing these girls' journeys will inspire you to get educated on the topic, help raise awareness, and speak up when you witness potential trafficking situations. The event is hosted by Deshawn Augustus an employee with TUPD and Homeland Security Studies Student and Kimberly Wilson a current member of the NOPD and FBI taskforce working to end human trafficking in New Orleans. We hope to see you on April 4, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. in LBC room 213, Kendall Cram.
