Human Trafficking: The Hidden Epidemic
Human Trafficking: The Hidden Epidemic
Florida is the third leading hub in the country for human trafficking and the Panhandle is the worst in the state. The Santa Rosa County Democratic Women's Club will hold a nonpartisan Food & Facts Presentation on Human Trafficking: The Hidden Epidemic, Saturday, March 4 from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm at Pedro's Tacos & Tequila Bar, 3095 Gulf Breeze Parkway, Gulf Breeze, FL 32563. The purpose of this public event is to educate attendees about what's happening locally in our communities, how we can help prevent this societal scourge, and how we can rescue its victims and support survivors. Our speaker will be Cherie Crim -- activist, trainer, author and member of the Panhandle’s Circuit 14-Human Trafficking Task Force. She will be joined by Kendra Gracia, a trafficking survivor who now mentors other women as a survivor advocate. No RSVP required.
