Human Trafficking: Tools to Stop the Trade

Approximately 195 individuals attended A Girl’s World is Different (AGWID) February 24, 2012. This was a one-day conference addressing the most important issues affecting the lives of Arizona’s girls. This year, the focus was on human trafficking and how the misrepresentation of girls in the media contributes to this crime. Participants heard the latest on prevention and early intervention of human trafficking, left with relevant resources and learned how the misrepresentation of girls in the media contributes to this issue.

Our Key Note speaker was Julian Sher, an award-winning investigative journalist in print, TV, radio and on the Web. To read more about him, click here.

We also showed a screening of the film Miss Representation, which explores how the media’s misrepresentations of women have led to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence. To learn more about the film, click here.
