Native People Not For Sale

Join the World Without Exploitation (WorldWE) Youth Coalition on Wednesday, November 29th at 5:30 pm EST for Native People Not For Sale. In honor of Native American Heritage Month we will be discussing the particular impact of the sex trade on indigenous communities in North America. Indigenous women are overrepresented in prostitution in a clear legacy of colonial exploitation of Native peoples. This month we are spotlighting survivors of commercial sexual exploitation who do particular advocacy and educational work to bring awareness to the intersection of the prostitution system and the historical marginalization of indigenous people. Moderated by WorldWE Youth Writing Group Coordinator Jade Bentley, our conversation will feature Trisha Baptie, Founding Member & Community Engagement Coordinator at Exploited Voices Now Educating; Jeri Moomaw, Executive Director, Innovations Human Trafficking Collaborative; and Beatrice Wallace, Family and Youth Worker at the ICF Regina.
