Description

The Hope Forum will feature a 6-member panel’s discussion of their diverse journeys into and out of exploitation, through recovery, education, successes, failures, criminalization, fears, trauma, faith, and more, all to bring inspiration, information, and hope to survivors, and insight and resources to non-survivors. Panelists will include survivors of child and adult sex trafficking and labor trafficking. All are accomplished, compassionate advocates who live to speak life into other survivors and educate non-survivors.
