Building Awareness to Human Trafficking - Rotary Speaker Series (#2 of 5)
Mark your calendar for the second presentation in this local Rotary Speaker Series, hosted by the Rotary Club of Guelph South, on Eradicating Human Trafficking.
August 24 2021, 7:00pm: In this second session of our series, you will be hearing from Karly Church, who is a Crisis Intervention Counsellor at a regional support service for victims of human trafficking, and who has spoken for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
Karly gives talks at schools, particularly with grade nine students, and with politicians on this issue. She teams up with the Anti Human Trafficking Unit of the regional police force, and often intervenes and talks to individuals who are being trafficked.
But this wasn’t always her job. She knows what she is talking about because she is a human trafficking survivor. She will be sharing her powerful story of how she came from a small town with a seemingly normal family, to being trafficked in the sex trade.
