• (S)exploiting the Vulnerable: Empowering
Future Legal Advocates to Combat Sex Trafficking
April 12

Experts on state and federal sex trafficking laws will explore the current status and future goals of sex trafficking reform at a conference entitled, “(S)exploiting the Vulnerable: Empowering Future Legal Advocates to Combat Sex Trafficking.” The conference will be held from 9 a.m.-5:15 p.m. Friday, April 12 in the Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium at Wayne Law, 471 W. Palmer in Detroit. Sex trafficking involves commercialized sex acts in exchange for something of value. 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. Through a comprehensive assessment, this conference will advance social justice for those who are dedicated to eradicating the exploitation of the vulnerable. Advancing a future of effective legal advocacy requires deconstructing misconceptions about sex trafficking and recognizing its often intraracial character. The conference is open to the public and free to attend. Continental breakfast and lunch provided. RSVP at https://rsvp.wayne. edu/law-0419. For more information contact Taylor Hilton at gk6140@wayne.edu.
