International Justice Mission: Rescuing Victims of Slavery, Sexual Exploitation, and Oppression

Join us for a film screening and talk on the International Justice Mission ( http://www.ijm.org ), an international human rights organization that seeks justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation, and other forms of violent oppression.

IJM will show its new documentary - At the End of Slavery - and provide an update about IJM's casework and goals. At the End of Slavery is a brand new 31-minute documentary produced by IJM. Narrated by Danny Glover and featuring music by Johnny Cash and Moby, At the End of Slavery takes you to the frontlines of today's battle for justice and includes true stories of former slaves and undercover footage from police operations to rescue children from brothels. Law enforcement success in finding and rescuing victims, and prosecuting perpetrators, demonstrates the real possibility of an end to this trade.

Speaker Kaign Christy, director of operations for Southeast Asia for IJM and founder of the Cambodia office, will share about the work of IJM and lead a Question & Answer session after the film.

Sponsored by the Center for Law, Health & Society, Center for Ethics and Corporate Responsibility, Child Advocacy Society, Christian Legal Society, International and Comparative Law Society, and Student Health Law Association.
