Nameless Documentary Film Screening and Panel Discussion

Join the Office of Advocacy and Support for a film screening of Nameless on Thursday, November 9th from 7pm-9pm! Nameless is a documentary that addresses child sex trafficking in Washington, DC, and at-large. Through interviews with experts, advocates, and activists, child sex trafficking is reframed as a form of sexual violence that is often made invisible. Child sex trafficking is explored as an issue with deep historical-cultural roots, while tackling misperceptions about which populations are most vulnerable to being trafficked, and illuminating systemic gaps in the current treatment of trafficking victims and survivors.

Following the film screening, OAS will hold a panel discussion featuring special guest speakers Yasmin Vafa, founder and Executive Director of Rights4Girls, and Alisa Bernard, National Campaign Manager for World Without Exploitation. You can read more about our panelist’s background’s below:
