Forum on Modern Slavery:  21st Century Solutions

As a member of the New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking (NJCAHT), it was thrilling to be in attendance when Nadia Murad, the 2019 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, was presented with an honorary doctorate degree from the Seton Hall University’s School of Diplomacy and International Relations.

SOAP Distribution

There was a SOAP distribution to Hotels and Motels in Monmouth County on Saturday May 4.  Arlene Inglis and Ginny Lyttle participated for AAUW.  The Human Trafficking Coalition does several Soap distributions a year around the state.  We start by showing the Motel or Hotel person a poster of local missing children and then go into a talk about looking for suspicious activities by clients.  We then leave soaps with the national hot line number at mom and pop establishments asking them to leave the soaps in the guests’ bathrooms. The soaps have been an effective way to reach people who can help free victims.
