Dear Colleague:
It is my pleasure to invite you to attend a Community Forum sponsored by the Atlanta Interagency Human Trafficking Workgroup entitled, "Empowerment through Knowledge: Prevention, Protection, Prosecution and Reintegration". This Forum is designed specifically for Federal, State and local agencies, law enforcement officials, academia, faith and community-based organizations, practitioners from various disciplines and others committed to helping victims of Human Trafficking. The Forum will be held on Thursday, November 1, 2007, from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM at the Arthritis Foundation Building, 1330 West Peachtree Street Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
Human Trafficking is a widespread form of modern slavery. Victims of human trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor. It is estimated that between 14,500 and 17,500 victims may be trafficked into the United States each year. This includes men, women, and children.
The goal of the Forum is to provide information and invoke discussion around the efforts of Human Trafficking laws and the needs of victims. This event will also provide invitees with unique opportunities to exchange views and share information around critical issues impacting victims of Human Trafficking.
I hope you will be able to join us to share your perspective and add a valuable dimension to this important discussion. Registration is free, but is required for all participants. We ask that you complete the enclosed Forum Registration Form and return it no later than Friday, October 19, 2007, via e-mail to: vmixon@acf.hhs.gov , or fax: 404 562-2981. If you are not able to attend, please consider sending a representative. Should you have any questions, call 404-562-2921. I look forward to your participation.
Sincerely,
Southeast Regional Administrator
