A recent study conducted in Seattle found that every night, 300-500 minors are sexually exploited on our streets. How can we hear the voices of these young victims, and what are we doing as a community to combat sexual exploitation?
On Friday, February 20, at 7 p.m., in Demaray Hall 150, join SPU’s Set Free Club and SERVE program for an event featuring keynote speaker State Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles, a champion of anti-trafficking legislation. Following her remarks will be a screening of The Long Night, a feature film by Tim Matsui and MediaStorm that weaves together the stories of seven people whose lives have been forever changed by domestic minor sex trafficking in Seattle.
The event will conclude with a discussion and Q&A with filmmaker Matsui and Senator Kohl-Welles. Come see the realities of sexual exploitation in Seattle and leave energized with hope for the actions we can take to stop it.
