The AAUW Sacramento Branch is excited to be sponsoring a program on human trafficking and sex trafficking for our members and the general public on March 10, 2016.  We will have a panel of speakers talking about abuse and violence against women and girls in the Sacramento region.

Our panelists include Jenny Williamson, Executive Director of Courage Worldwide, an organization that offers shelter, counseling, education and training for women and girls rescued from traffickers; Holly Gibbs, a former victim and health educator; and Jan Scully, former Sacramento District Attorney and founder of the Family Justice Center, a new program for victims that offers legal services, counseling and referrals to housing, job training and educational programs.  The Family Justice Center is being developed in collaboration with California State University, Sacramento, and will have a satellite program on campus that will offer victim assistance as well as provide internship opportunities for students on campus.

We need your help in contacting other community groups that might be interested in joint sponsorship and encouraging their members to attend. We will not be asking for financial assistance, but we need them to encourage their members to attend. They will be listed as joint sponsors on promotional materials, and we may set up tables where they can distribute their relevant literature. Could you help with your contacts?
