Present
Pornography: Driving the Demand for International Sex Trafficking
“Pornography:
Driving the Demand for International Sex Trafficking”
will begin on the evening of Sunday, March 13 and continue through Tuesday,
March 15, at the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Chicago.
The conference is the second in the Demand Dynamics series, which aims to
promote public discussion and provide media education regarding the issue of
demand in international sex trafficking. The purpose of this conference is to
share information about the connections among trafficking, pornography and
demand and to develop a toolkit to empower activists working to address
pornography's role in creating demand for sex trafficking.
The conference speakers will address pornography, demand and
sex trafficking from a feminist perspective. Our keynote speaker is
Catharine A. MacKinnon, Professor of Law at the University of Michigan. Also
speaking is Dr. Esohe Aghatise, Founder and Director of Association Iroko Onlus in Turin, Italy, which assists
Nigerian trafficking victims and others. Ms. Julie Bindel, a noted journalist
for The Guardian in the UK
who writes on sexual exploitation issues, will also speak. For
other speakers and topics, please refer to the draft program agenda.
As of February 1, we opened the conference to activists and others who did
not attend our 2003 Demand Dynamics
conference. Seating is limited. To request a space or be
wait-listed for the conference, please contact us at
demanddynamics@earthlink.net.
Whether you will be with us or awaiting the conference
outcome, we urge you to consider pornography's impact on the trafficking of
women and children and contact us with suggestions for creating a plan of action
that will help activists begin addressing this urgent issue.
