Fight Human Trafficking - Panel Discussion at Chicago-Kent College of Law
(23 March 2011)
The attached article is based on notes from a Seminar hosted at Kent College of Law in Chicago, USA. Many former OSMTH Delegates to the UN attended including Princess Renate, our Grand Master, BG Patrick Rea, Carol & Randy Tietz, Dr. Jean Ford, and the author of these fine notes, Chevse. Roxane Tyssen.
The topic was about the state of the sex trafficking industry in Cook County, Illinois. Each year approximately 6,000 children are trafficked in the sex industry in Cook County alone; this includes both boys and girls although girls and young women make up the majority.
The theme ties-in well with OSMTHs recent affiliation with UN.GIFT, and the topic itself will be further explored with the visit and presentation by two UN Officers at the forthcoming GMC in Mechelen.
