right now
I wanted to bring an event to your attention that is scheduled to take place during the week of November 9th-14th in New York. JOURNEY NYC is an art installation co-created by Emma Thompson and “Elena” (a woman who was victimized by sex
traffickers). The installation is comprised of seven cargo containers
furnished to represent different stages of one woman’s journey of
human trafficking. JOURNEY will be based directly next to Washing
Square Park and is open between 12 noon and 8p every day.
Believe it or not, it was only within the past few years that NYC has
begun to pass anti-trafficking laws; but there is still more to be
done with sex tours operating out of NY. Hopefully, JOURNEY will help
to shed more light on the issues stateside.
You can hear more about JOURNEY NYC on NPR or watch the YouTube video.
The installation is being produced by the Helen Bamber Foundation.
Please consider forwarding this email to anyone you think might be interested.
Best wishes to you all.
