Stripped: the Raw Truth on Human Trafficking in New England

This event aims to be a unique, eye- (and heart-) opening experience that will consist of performances from Dartmouth student groups, including a cappella, dance, and spoken word pieces on themes related to human trafficking with the hope of giving voice to otherwise oppressed and silenced voices. Additionally, there will be a panel of speakers who will talk about New Hampshire and New England's latest efforts to raise awareness about the issue and increase enforcement of anti-trafficking laws. They will also provide some practical tips regarding what members of the Dartmouth community can do to recognize warning signs of women being coerced into the sex trade and forced prostitution. Panelists include Grafton County Attorney General Lara Saffo, anti-trafficking coordinator Erin Albright from the International Institute of New England, coordinator Kate Semple Barta from the Welcoming All Nationalities Network of the Upper Valley, and assistant US Attorney Mark Zuckerman.

Stripped will be taking place TODAY, April 4 at 7:00 PM in Dartmouth Hall, Room 105. The event will be coinciding with Dartmouth's first ever Human Trafficking Awareness Week, which is being organized by the student group the Modern Abolition Initiative.
