In Our Own Backyard: Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing

Feb

If you have a few minutes please listen to the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that occurred today.  The hearing titled, “In Our Own Backyard: Child Prostitution and Sex Trafficking in the United States,” included testimony from Ambassador-At-Large Luis CdeBaca, Rachel Lloyd (founder of GEMS) and a survivor of trafficking in the US.

If you’re interested in finding out more (and you’re in the Cincinnati area) you can also check out the free screening of Playground, a documentary on child trafficking in America, on March 11th.  All of this hits close to home in light of the recent study we posted earlier this month about trafficking in Ohio.
