Alabama Athletics "Shut Out Trafficking" Week
|
|
Sunday, April 19, 2015
6:30 - 8:00 pm
Coleman Coliseum
The National Consortium for Academics and Sport (NCAS) is partnering with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF (UNICEF USA), targeting 10 college and university campuses across the United States. Prominent student-athletes, coaches, athletic administrators and students will speak out and educate peers during a one-week program at each university. The goal is to raise awareness about human trafficking in the United States and to inspire students to take action while learning the value love and forgiveness can have in implementing change. Leaders of the initiative will share their takeaways from the program, and reflect on the power of love and forgiveness to make a difference.
Shut Out Trafficking will educate college students on the brutality of human trafficking and the $150 billion dollar industry it has become, and empower students to take action against it. Trafficking is one of the most profitable criminal industries in the world second only to drug trafficking with profits growing by nearly 400 percent in the last five years alone.
