UN CSW62 Event: The Last Girl and Her Vulnerabilities to Sex Trafficking

The Last Girl and Her Vulnerabilities to Sex Trafficking
Apne Aap Women Worldwide's UN event during #CSW62 *

Even a snow day and the closure of the UN did not stop us! The event was instead broadcasted through Facebook Live.

Speakers include:
Cynthia Stephen: Policy Researcher working with the Dalit community
Mickey Meji: Survivor-Activist, Embrace Dignity South Africa
Rebecca Bender: Survivor-Leader, CEO RBI
Ruchira Gupta: Founder-President Apne Aap, NYU Professor
Shanie Roy: Survivor-Activist from Canada

Watch a brilliant and engaging discussion on the vulnerabilities of women and girls from Dalit, indigenous, Native American, and segregated Black communities to sexual violence because they are The Last Girls who are cut off from food, housing, education, livelihoods, and even legal protection because of their intersecting inequalities that are caused by race, class, caste, gender, and ethnicity.

*(The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) brings together civil society and governments annually to exclusively discuss the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.)
