SUMMARY:Detroit - (S)exploiting the Vulnerable: Empowering Future Legal Advocates to Combat Sex Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:*MAP will be attending and hosting a resource table \nPlease RSVP via Wayne State’s event link on the left. \nSex trafficking involves commercialized sex acts in exchange for something of value. There are two basic forms of sex trafficking: (1) trafficking adults through force\, fraud\, or coercion and (2) trafficking children. Far from being a “foreign” problem\, sex trafficking has reached epidemic proportions in the United States\, as both the internet and substance dependency provide greater access to vulnerability. Vulnerable populations are often the most targeted\, including homeless youth\, victims of discrimination\, asylum-seekers\, and victims of domestic violence. Although sex trafficking has become a popular topic\, it is rife with misconceptions. Unfortunately\, many laws\, policies\, and practices misplace the emphasis on criminalizing and pathologizing trafficked individuals. This emphasis erroneously prosecutes sex trafficking victims\, which subsequently empowers the traffickers. \nAdvancing a future of effective legal advocacy requires deconstructing misconceptions about sex trafficking and recognizing its often intraracial character. On April 12 at Wayne Law\, experts on state and federal sex trafficking laws will explore the current status and future goals of sex trafficking law reform. Through a comprehensive assessment\, this conference will advance social justice for those who are dedicated to eradicating the exploitation of the vulnerable. \nContinuing education credits for social workers are free. \nFree admission\, open to the public\nContinental breakfast and lunch provided\n \nSchedule\n \n9 a.m. Welcome\n\n\nDean Richard A.

The blog was based on a book he wrote in 2004 about the Pistons’ rise to their third NBA championship. His career began in 1974 at WABX-FM in Detroit\, where he was regarded as the “first FM sportscaster” in Detroit. Eli became the lead sports anchor for NBC affiliate WDIV-TV in the 1980s and briefly served a similar role at WABC-TV in New York\, where he shared the weeknight sports reporting duties with Corey McPherrin. \nEnd the Demand – Program Update and Future Plans and Efforts\nEnd the Demand is a MAP initiative to combat human trafficking by reducing the demand that fuels it. Addressing pornography\, intercepting online sex buying\, educating prostitution offenders\, promoting ethical shopping practices are some of the major efforts we and our partners are taking on to put an end to human trafficking and exploitation. Learn more about who is fueling the demand for exploitation and what can be done about it.
