WHY?
Slavery is one of the most egregious violations of human
dignity. Human trafficking is the means of enslaving millions of
men, women, and children each year for labor, sex, or other forms
of exploitation. This conference explores the relationship between
the travel industry, travel, and travelers to raise awareness of
this serious issue and to call all people to work to end human
trafficking.
