The Youth Against Human Trafficking: How Students Can Get Involved in Prevention Conference was prepared for university students, both undergraduate and graduate, in order to educate, inspire, and inform about the major issues that are part of trafficking as a human rights abuse. The project is meant to engage students about a human rights issue, which affects an inordinate number of women, men, and children around the world today. American University of Paris students and alumnus, in partnership with the MA in Law department, have brought together an event on how youth can be involved in prevention, education, and potential career opportunities in human trafficking prevention. We are proud to be a part of this special event.

If you have read some of the other pieces on this blog, you may have noticed the style and voice of this piece is different. As a video editing project, this piece fits more into Artemsia's Vibrations, which is about my creative projects, than Ruby Starfire Wanderlust, which is more about travel. The normal style and voice for Artemsia's Vibrations is inappropriate for this subject matter, so it was decided to take a more professional approach.
