AAUW Nevada Spring Convention 2024

April 27, 2024, 10:00am – 12:30pm

Spotlight on Sex Trafficking

Red Means Stop:  Survivorship & Advocacy

Via ZOOM

AAUW notes that human trafficking is one of the “fastest growing criminal activities in the world.” In Nevada, more than 5,000 individuals are sold online every month, and 70% of human trafficking involves sexual exploitation. Sex trafficking is present in every Nevadan community, harming people of all ages, genders, orientations, and socio economic status.

This event informed, inspired, and called us to take action to prevent and stop sex trafficking, and to support survivors in reclaiming their lives.

AAUW Nevada Workshop:

“Trauma in Today’s World & What To Do About It”

Wednesday, April 3, 2024 @ 12 to 1 PM PDT via Zoom

Recognizing and acknowledging trauma in ourselves and others is becoming increasingly important for effective allyship. This workshop will help us understand what it means to be “trauma-informed” and how to better support and communicate with folks who have experienced trauma. Although a standalone event, the workshop will offer insight into the sex trafficking content that will be presented at our Annual Convention (see below).
