BOUGHT AND SOLD: Faces of Modern Day Slavery
( More about event)
Human trafficking is a global criminal enterprise affecting hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. It exists in every country and in many guises, fueled by extreme poverty, cultural norms that devalue and commodify women and children in particular, and also by a seemingly insatiable demand for exploitive sex and cheap labor. Kay Chernush's photographs are an attempt to put a human face on the statistics and headlines, to tell the stories of modern-day enslavement and the journey towards freedom. On February 24 from 4:30 to 6 p.m., there will be a panel discussion on the topic in Robertson Hall, Bowl 016.
Panelists are: Kay Chernush, Photographer; E. Benjamin Skinner, Fellow, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University; Kathy Maskell, U.S. Advocacy Director, Love146; Moderator, Stanley Katz, Professor of Public and International Affairs and Director of the Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies, Woodrow Wilson School. A public reception will follow the panel discussion in the Bernstein Gallery at 6 p.m.
