SUMMARY:A Cup of Hope: Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:A CUP OF HOPE\nWednesday\, October 12th\, at 12 pm \nIntimate Partner Violence:\nWhen Sexual Abuse & Exploitation Collide\n\nRegardless of if you personally know a victim/survivor of human trafficking\, data from the CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (2017) indicates that “In the U.S.\, about 1 in 3 women and nearly 1 in 6 men have experienced some form of contact sexual violence during their lifetime.” Unfortunately\, intimate partner violence is much more common than we often think…\nBut have hope! Prevention is possible. We have invited lived-experience expert\, Bobbie Benton\, to share with us the striking similarities between domestic violence and human trafficking\, the key elements that set them apart\, and the myths that often keep sexually violent crimes hidden in the dark. Join us as we take steps towards recognizing abuse and preventing potential exploitation. The resources and tips shared during this webinar may just be the key to saving someone’s life!\n\nFeatured Guest:\nBobbie Benton\, Domestic Violence Survivor & Advocate\nBobbie Benton is an enthusiastic and bright-spirited burst of sunshine\, with a compassionate heart to help others. She is a natural advocate with over 20 years of experience in the human service field working with various populations including adjudicated youth\, young adults transitioning out of the foster care system\, domestic violence survivors\, returning citizens\, individuals with disabilities\, and at-risk youth.\nShe is a domestic violence survivor\, and her experience gave her the courage to step out on faith and become a DV advocate. She uses her experience\, knowledge\, and testimony to empower\, encourage\, and help others in their domestic violence situations. In May 2020\, Bobbie created the Stop Domestic Violence Program at Alternatives for Girls\, this grant-funded initiative exceeded expectations.\nBobbie continues on her Domestic Violence Advocacy journey and started Wenning Touch Advocacy\, a non-profit Domestic Violence and Human Service Advocacy Agency. Bobbie leads with honesty\, integrity\, and empathy and stands in the gap for the vulnerable and underserved through advocacy\, education\, and empowerment\, providing services with a Wenning Touch! Bobbie hones her craft by participating in ongoing training and education related to advocacy and human services\, she also earned her Associate’s Degree in Mental Health and Social work at Oakland Community College\, a Bachelor of Science degree at Rochester College in Counseling and Psychology\, and a certification in Civil Mediation.\n\nVirtual discussion\, LIVE on MAP’s Facebook page\nParticipate in our discussion by submitting questions and feedback in the video comments!\n\nThis series of live-streamed conversations was created in partnership with Hope Against Trafficking in an effort to bring perspective and build awareness on all things human trafficking.\nClick here to view past episode recordings!

If so\, then you’ll likely know large events like this often lead to an increased demand for commercial sex in the area as well… This is why we need your help!  Join us as we educate local hotel staff about human trafficking and equip them with resources to help identify and report suspected cases of sex trafficking during the week of the Detroit Auto Show (Sep 14-25).\nOn the day of outreach (Aug 27)\, volunteers will help label bars of soap and makeup wipes with the national hotline# and then go out in teams to deliver the materials to over 250 hotels/motels throughout the Metro-Detroit area (labeled soaps and makeup wipes will be distributed to hotel rooms during the week of the Auto Show by hotel staff). While delivering soaps/makeup wipes to assigned hotels\, volunteers will also educate front desk staff on the signs of human trafficking and share local “missing teen posters” that will be used by staff to identify any missing youth/potential victims during the Detroit Auto Show as well.\nNo previous experience necessary – training* (and breakfast) will be provided to volunteers on site! Gather a group of friends\, family members\, or co-workers and register to join us… We need LOTS of participants* (men and women) to help make this outreach event a success!!\n*Training is appropriate for middle school-aged and older.
