Free Public Lecture Series on Human Trafficking December 6, 2008

THE FREE PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING, DECEMBER 6, 2008 will bring a panel of speakers to identify the causes, realities and possible solutions to human trafficking and its implications in our communities. Human Trafficking is one of the most extreme violations of human rights, whose majority of victims are women and children.

We invite you to raise your awareness and learn what you can do about this relatively unknown issue. With this event resting on the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, we honour the memories of the countless women who have faced extreme violence and exploitation.

Please come and find out what local groups, non profits and governments are doing to address this pressing issue, its root causes, and what potential solutions and preventions are possible. Admission is free and includes lunch.

As part of this event, there will be a contemporary sound and video art presentation, designed to inspire the public on human rights. This will include the premiere of "To Realize Why", a sound/art piece taking us on the emotional journey of a human trafficking victim among other pieces by professional contemporary artists from Toronto. Tickets are $10 /$5 for students for the artistic presentations. The Cost is FREE for the rest of The Public Lecture Series, including lunch.

We will be offering a free healthy and delicious lunch, provided by Green Earth restaurant

Join us at The Latvian House, 491 College Street, Toronto, ON, December 6, 2008. From 11:00 am-4:15pm
