SUMMARY:International Human Trafficking & Social Justice Conference
DESCRIPTION:Since 2004\, The International Human Trafficking and Social Justice Conference has been bringing together researchers\, practitioners\, and individuals with lived experience in an effort to lay the groundwork for future collaborative research\, advocacy\, and program development. \nTo date\, the trafficking conference has welcomed thousands of attendees from 50 states and 40 countries to learn from researchers\, survivors\, and social service\, health care\, and criminal justice professionals about human trafficking and social justice topics. \nRecently\, there have been many new and exciting opportunities for expansion regarding the conference\, which includes a name change because of a larger mission. In 2015\, the conference title was changed to the International Human Trafficking & Social Justice Conference. The concept of social justice will expand topics at the conference to include many of the injustices seen in the world today. \nWe greatly appreciate those who have brought the conference this far. Change is hard\, but is also necessary. All are welcome to join us in sharing knowledge and diverse perspectives at the conference. Our conference has a maximum of 12 continuing education credits for social work\, counseling\, marriage & family therapy\, chemical dependency\, nursing\, health education\, public health\, occupational therapy\, DODD\, and law.

SUMMARY:THE FIGHT FOR EQUALITY: Global Perspectives on Reducing Sexual Exploitation
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this virtual event is to empower and educate the community on the many harms of human trafficking\, and further explore the intersections of race\, gender\, and trafficking. We will look at data that underscore the inequities of power and systemic oppression from around the globe and discuss policies that help address these challenges. \nWe are thrilled to be joined by Rita Maria Hernández\, PhD\, and Héma Sibi on the panel.

She has focused much of her work in Latin America\, and has been instrumental in developing frontline services and legislature around the issue. She organizes awareness campaigns and research projects to communicate about the very thin line that exists between sexual trafficking and prostitution\, and the reality that this is a transnational crime\, especially in the border towns between Mexico and the United States. \nShe was Executive Director of Comisión Unidos vs Trata A.C from 2015 – 2019 the organization helped pass Human Trafficking Laws in Mexico and runs the first shelter for sexually exploited boys and girls. She serves on the Board of the International Coalition for the Abolition of Prostitution. Currently she is owner and CEO of Highland Prince Academy a private School in Tijuana and Executive Director of Mares A.C. an organization that fights Commercial sexual exploitation as well as being the Director of Policy and Advocacy for Rescue Freedom International.

At CAP Héma advocates for the adoption and implementation of national and international ambitious policies to protect victims of trafficking and prostitution. She developed the Last Girl First research project which focuses on patterns of domination intersecting in the system of prostitution (patriarchy\, racism\, colonization\, war/conflict\, classism\, imperialism) and the factors of vulnerability to it.
