Magdalene’s is hosting a free Human Trafficking Conference to open dialogue about sexual exploitation and to equip teens and the people who love them on how to spot it, stop it and break free.
The afternoon will open with the film, Sextortion: The Hidden Pandemic, followed by a Q & A with a panel of trafficking experts on how to prevent and report sextortion attempts in the teen community. Sexual exploitation happens right here in our backyard. This conference is for teens (13+), parents, guardians, grandparents, teachers, coaches, youth leaders and more.
