Advocacy Book Discussion

  • 04-27-2013

  • Time: 9:00 am to 11:00 am at the JLS Office

  • Interested in learning more about human trafficking and
    "the life" that many survivors have experienced? Join us Saturday,
    April 27th for a book discussion with Lacie Morrison. Lacie is a leader and
    founding member on the Board of Directors for Seattle Against Slavery and owns
    Lacie Morrison Counseling. She worked for 2 years in the Philippines with women
    who were commercially sexually exploited. She has generously agreed to lead a
    discussion with JLS members of the book, Girls Like Us: Fighting For a World
    Where Girls Are Not For Sale, by Rachel Lloyd.

  • Lloyd's memoir provides a poignant look into the real lives
    of herself and other young girls who have been wrapped up in the life of sexual
    exploitation. “Girls Like Us is a powerful and eloquent recounting of the lives
    of children and young women caught up in the ravages of sexual exploitation….[It]
    offers valuable insights into understanding the complex emotional and economic
    factors that contribute to the exploitation of children and youth.” (Richard J.
    Estes, Professor of Social Work, University of Pennsylvania )

  • The book can be purchased on Amazon.com   at the following link:   http://www.amazon.com/Girls-Like-Us-Fighting-Memoir/dp/ 0061582069
