FREE Webinar - Inside the Survivor's Mind
2017-11-15 13:00 - 14:15 UTC | Webinar
Explain the definition of sex trafficking and describe why this is a serious problem that needs our attention. Demonstrate why victims are not often identified as we look at a survivor’s police record to show the invisible signs of trafficking. Review and understand the mind of a survivor. Describe complex PTSD and why a survivor does not run from her trafficker, understand how resilience helps in recovery, and what the recovery process looks like. SPONSORED by NCJTC

Human Trafficking in Wisconsin
2017-05-18 19:00 - 20:30 | WI
Presented by Rachel Monaco-Wilcox, LOTUS.
Cases of human trafficking have been identified in all 72
counties in Wisconsin. Yet most people doubt this, thinking
“that can’t be happening here!” If we are in a state of denial,
who is helping survivors? Who is working on policies? Who is
educating young people about risks? In this talk, Rachel will
address the myths and misconceptions around sex trafficking
in Wisconsin, illuminate the situation in Wisconsin, explain
what led her to start the LOTUS legal clinic in 2013, and share
ideas for how citizens can make a difference.
Thursday, May 18 at 7 pm
Pinney Library
204 Cottage Grove Road, Madison WI
This event is brought to you by the Wisconsin Humanities Council.

IGNITE HOPE HT EVENT - Milwaukee Area
2017-05-06 | Embassy Suites Brookfield WI, Brookfield, WI
Sponsored by Redeem and Restore! (event includes luncheon, raffle prizes and music.)
Featured Speaker: Tajaun McCarty.
Tajuan was recognized as one of The Top 20 Women Who Make a Difference in Birmingham, accepted The FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award on behalf of The WellHouse, was recognized as The A-List by B-Metro Magazine and Faces of Birmingham with Style BluePrint Magazine both in January, 2015 and featured as An Everyday Hero in Good Housekeeping, March 2015.
She is uniquely qualified to be a forerunner in the fight against trafficking, as she understands victims situations too well. At 15, she was sexually exploited by her “boyfriend-turned-pimp”. She was trafficked to Birmingham so many times, it became her home. Her many experiences make her a passionate advocate for victims of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
A Survivor Leader who has three college degrees, has founded a long-term home for women in Alabama, and speaks of truth and hope wherever she goes!
