Freeing Modern Slaves with Elizabeth Fisher, Selah Freedom on Uncommon Giving

Join us for this provocative discussion about a problem that many don't like to discuss - human trafficking.   

Florida is one of the top 3 states in the US for sex trafficking.  The shocking facts regarding sex trafficking in the US include:

• From 100,000 to 300,000 children are taken into sex slavery each year in the US.
• A girl or boy can be sold (used) from about 15 to 40 times PER NIGHT
• The average age for girls to be trafficked is 12 to 14, but victims can also be much younger

 Elizabeth Melendez Fisher is the founding President/CEO of Selah Freedom, a nonprofit organization based in Sarasota focusing on ending human trafficking and sexual exploitation on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Fisher will share Selah Freedom's story and tell us how they are tackling not only the issue of freeing modern slaves, but how to reintegrate them back into society so that they can live productive, healthy lives.
