SUMMARY:The Pathway Summit
DESCRIPTION:Please join United Against Human Trafficking in the launch of the Pathway Referral Network for Greater Texas\, a collaborative and creative environment that will foster learning and inspiration throughout the day. \nDoors Open at 9:45 am with boxed lunches and refreshments provided. \nThe Pathway is an online\, interactive database for survivors and Case Managers to access resources in one central location. The goal of the Pathway is to connect trafficked persons to service providers through one central system\, while committing to paving a pathway to coordinated care where inter-agency collaboration is celebrated. \nWhy? \nMany of our partners specialize on one issue – homelessness\, substance use\, therapy\, legal aid. Each holds necessary and life-saving programs in our state. But trafficking survivors need care from all the specialists. Too many times\, we’ve seen trafficking survivors slip through the cracks of systems meant to empower them. It’s time to go beyond providing individual services and unify our efforts to ensure no trafficking survivor gets left behind. \nCan’t wait to see you there! \nThe Summit is free\, but please RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pathway-referral-network-summit-for-greater-texas-tickets-416251408167 \n

SUMMARY:Buyer Accountability Roundtable and Social Media Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 25th for a virtual roundtable discussion of the importance of accountability for buyers in the commercial sex market! For this virtual event\, we will feature organizations and law enforcement agencies who have been at the forefront of the buyer accountability movement\, and share a social media toolkit for individuals and organizations to raise awareness of the issue. \nBackground: House Bill 1540 went into effect this September. The bill is a key component of the ‘Texas Model’ to combat commercial sex – and its associated harms including the fueling of sex trafficking – through strengthening buyer accountability. The bill makes solicitation of sex to a state felony on the first attempt\, and law enforcement agencies across the state have already conducted major stings and operations to implement these increased penalties. \nBut why is buyer accountability important? What does the history of buyer accountability in the state of Texas look like? What do we know about buyers that makes the Texas Model a promising approach? Join us for a roundtable discussion as we explore the evidence\, experience\, and expertise of those involved in the buyer accountability movement\, and help us raise awareness of what HB 1540 means for Texas! \nFacebook Page for VIEWING ONLY: https://www.facebook.com/childrenatrisk \nROUNDTABLE PARTICIPANTS \n\nDennis Mark – Task Force Coordinator\, Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance\nLisa Bowden – Founder & President\, Reflection Ministries of Texas\nJohn Nehme – President & CEO\, Allies Against Slavery\nMaria Orand – Detective\, Fort Worth Police Department\n\nHosted by Children at Risk
