Trafficked: The Modern Day Face of Slavery
Students and young professionals wishing to make a difference in the world are invited to attend a student conference at Georgetown University entitled "Trafficked: The Modern Day Face of Slavery" taking place from February 24- 26th 2006. The conference aims to open a dialogue among young leaders about what role the U.S. and other countries should play in international efforts to reduce human trafficking around the world. The conference is being organized by Georgetown University's Students Stopping Trafficking of People (SSTOP) and is cosponsored by Americans for Informed Democracy. Registration is free and housing and most meals will be provided.
The conference will offer young leaders a unique opportunity to discuss one of today’s most important global issues with leading scholars, policymakers, and practitioners. The conference will also give students practical advice on how they can impact local, national, and global policies. Throughout the conference, students will also have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with a diverse group of young leaders, equipping them with the knowledge, support and structure to implement these ideas in their neck of the woods.

The conference is cosponsored by Americans for Informed Democracy (AID), a non-partisan organization working to raise global awareness on more than 500 U.S. university campuses and in more than 10 countries. AID was originally started in September of 2002 by Marshall and Rhodes scholars at Oxford University who sought a new vehicle to bring the world home to Americans and it has quickly become the premiere network for globally conscious young leaders. During the fall of 2005 alone, AID brought together more than 20,000 students on over 250 U.S. campuses for videoconference dialogues with five other continents and for town hall meetings with top leaders, including Bill Gates, Sr., CEO of the Gates Foundation; Carol Bellamy, former head of UNICEF; Gillian Sorensen, former Assistant Secretary General of the U.N.; Salil Shetty, director of the Millennium Campaign; and Karsten Voigt, former President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
