2012 Focus:  Human Trafficking
 

The Episcopal Church Women of the Diocese of Chicago will be focusing on the issue of
human trafficking which began with our programs at Diocesan Convention, November 2011 and continues through 2012. 
Our two Convention speakers, Sarah Rogers from Women At Risk, International and
 Heather Bradley of The Night Ministry, presented programs on local and international issues. 

Other resources are listed below:

Women at Risk, International   Bringing women to safety throughout the world.

The Night Ministry  Programs to support individuals in Chicago

We encourage the women of the Diocese to spread the word about this very urgent issue
affecting women throughout our communities and the world.
