  1. Model UN Meeting Thursday October 17

  2. Country choice • Top 3 choices • Denmark • Saudi Arabia • Israel • **Is this the order we went to submit?

  3. Volunteer/Community Service Opportunity • Free The Girls • What We Do • Free The Girls is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides job opportunities for survivors of sex trafficking. We collect gently used bras and donate them to the women as starting inventory for their own business selling the bras.

  4. Human Trafficking Facts • The recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. • Women continue to be enslaved in commercial sex around the world. They are often arrested for participating in a crime that victimizes them • Women continue to toil in sweatshop factories without food or break, sewing garments, peeling shrimp, and weaving carpets under threat of violence, bonded by debt and force. They toil in diplomatic households and suburban residences as domestic workers often without anyone knowing they are there let alone being abused.

  5. Human trafficking Stats • $32 Billion: • The total market value of illicit human trafficking is estimated to be in excess of $32 billion • 27 Million: • Currently 27 million men, women and children are being held as slaves—more today than in any other time in history • 80% Women & Girls: Women and girls comprise at least 80% of the world’s trafficking victims, and up to 50% are minors • 2 Million: According to UNICEF, as many as two million children are subjected to prostitution in the global commercial sex trade. • (Sources: Trafficking In Persons Report 2010, Kevin Bales, Disposable People, U.S. State Dept)
