Taken, But Home For Dinner
Interactive Workshop – (virtual available)
Many people equate sex trafficking in America to the movie “Taken.” However, in the last five years there have only been 3 recorded kidnapping attempts related to sex trafficking in the United States. Yet, hundreds of thousands of women and children are commercially sexually exploited across the country each year. The reality is most victims, like Kimberly, are “taken” but home for dinner each night with their friends and families. In this presentation, Kimberly uses real case studies from those she has worked with over the years to empower audiences with a true in-depth understanding of sex trafficking and its victims in America.
WORKING IN the #METOO WORLD
Keynote, Breakout, or Pre/Post Seminar – (virtual available)
“If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted, write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet,” wrote actress Alyssa Milano in 2017. What followed was a shocking and history-altering response of women and men from around the world sharing their stories and showcasing the global prevalence of sexual violence. Particularly astonishing was the number of people who began coming public with stories of horrendous abuse perpetrated by their boss, coworkers, or those in authority. With the magnitude of the problem clear, and societies demand for change uncompromising, communities everywhere are being forced to challenge their own policies and workplace cultures. Your audience will leave with a better understanding of the history of #MeToo and empowered to make social change in their communities and workplaces.
The Importance of Self-Care When Working with Victims
