Libraries book trafficking talk

Daniela Miranda, crime victim advocate with Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse, will visit the Palouse Library Jan. 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the Colfax Library on Tuesday, Jan. 28, from 2 to 4 p.m. to raise awareness on human trafficking around the world. Handouts will also be available to the public.

During the month of January, advocates, organizations and individuals unite to raise awareness about the issue of human trafficking. While movements like #MeToo have started to bring crimes like sexual harassment and sexual assault out of the shadows, human trafficking largely remains hidden. Putting an end to human trafficking starts with acknowledging its existence.
