The
They have appeared on
"Oprah," written numerous
books and helped set
national and global policies
to combat global sex and
human trafficking issues.
And this year, they are
coming to the Rio Grande
Valley in South Texas to
shed light on a growing
problem impacting the local
border community.
The Women's Studies
Committee at South Texas
College in McAllen, Texas
will host its fourth annual
Sex Trafficking Conference
and Human Rights Art
Exhibit, allowing these
heavy-hitting thought
leaders to share their vision
for a future where all are
free from modern-day
slavery.
"We have secured speakers
from around the globe who
work every da) to end sex
and human trafficking,
which impacts every nation
on earth," said Jenny Clark,
women's studies chair at
STC and a conference
organizer. "Our region has
become a focal point in the
fight, with the exploitation
of women and children
rampant in the drug and sex
trades, as well as victims
being forced into terrible
labor situations.
we are also witnessing
increases in horrifying cases
of 'coyotes' dumping
unknowing immigrants to
fend and. in some cases, die
in our Valley," added Clark.
"We hope that bringing in
big speakers will open more
minds up to the reality of
what is going on in our
region and recruit more
hands in the fight against
modern-day slavery. We as
citizens of South Texas can
no longer remain blind to
this issue."
The conference takes place
April 6 through 9 at STC's
Pecan Camnus Cooper
Center for Communication
Arts, located at 3201 West
Pecan Blvd. in McAllen.
Attendees will hear from
two keynote speakers,
including Siddharth Kara,
one of the world's foremost
experts on human trafficking
and modern-day slavery, and
Somaly Mam, whose
personal experiences have
brought enormous
international recognition to
the issue and served as a
source of inspiration for
fellow victims.
Kara is the first Fellow on
Human Trafficking with the
Kennedy School of
Government at Harvard
University, and a founding
member of Harvard's
Advisory Collective on
Human Rights. His book,
"Sex Trafficking: Inside the
Business of Modern
Slavery," is the first of thre>
books providi ng his
groundbreaking new
approach to the subject of
contemporary slavery.
Kara first encountered the
horrors of slavery in a
Bosnian refugee camp in
1995. Subsequently, he
traveled to 18 countries
across five continents to
further investigate these
crimes. During his journeys,
he witnessed firsthand the
sale of human beings into
slavery, interviewed more
than 400 slaves, and
confronted some of those
who trafficked and exploited
them. Kara speaks and
consults extensively on
contemporary slavery and
human rights around the
world He advises several
governments 011 antislavery
policy and law. as well as
several private and non-
governmental organizations,
including the Clinton Global
Initiative and the American
I limalaya Foundation.
