Theresa Flores, activist-educator, to speak on the problem of human trafficking
An internationally-known activist-educator will be among the speakers at a conference on human trafficking later this month in Auburn.
Theresa Flores will share her personal story of sexual trafficking, slavery and survival at "Not Here: A Call to Action Against Human Trafficking," a two-day, interdisciplinary conference scheduled for October 25 and 26.
When she was just 15 and a newly-arrived resident of an upper-middle class suburb of Detroit, Flores was drugged, raped and tortured for two long years. While living at home and attending school during the day with her abusers, she was kept in bondage and called into ‘service’ late at night while her unknowing family slept.
