Emily will be featured at the Minnesota Educator Academy Conference this fall for her presentation on sex-trafficking. This presentation is an introductory session, which includes a local and global perspective of the scope of trafficking, the profile of a victim, signs of trafficking, common lures, internet and social media connection, cultural influences, intervention introduction, and prevention methods.
As educators spend their time interacting with our communities’ youth, they have a prime opportunity to act as leaders and shakers in the lives around them. This presentation is designed to open doors to form connections, long-lasting mentor-based relationships, and the ability to intervene on behalf of at-risk or targeted young library patrons. With resources shared, educators will not only have the opportunity to learn more about trafficking on a global and especially local level, they will also be equipped with the tools necessary for further research and information not only for themselves but for anyone interested in combating this crime. It could also prove helpful in supplementing school materials on a growing subject.
