On Saturday, March 22, organizations based in Northern Kentucky and throughout the state will gather at Main Street Church in Alexandria to raise awareness about human trafficking, the different types of trafficking, and how it affects families and our communities.
The full-day, ticketed event is open to anyone in the community who wants to understand more about the impact of human trafficking, locally and beyond, and how to take action to make a positive difference. Attendees will hear speakers from several faith-based and community organizations that support individuals affected by human trafficking; survivors of this experience will also be given a voice.
The event will also include breakout room sessions covering a range of related topics, including options for how to support victims and raise awareness in your community.
