Conference this Saturday!

I am in Amnesty International, and we're putting on a conference this Saturday.
The focus is about the trafficking of women and the femicides of Ciudad Juarez in Mexico. Here's all the information if any of you are interested. It should be really intense and thought-provoking, since it's addressing many of today's hotbutton topics:

STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACTIVISTS' CONFERENCE hosted by Amnesty International on Saturday, April 28 at the University YMCA. In Juarez, over three hundred women have been raped, mutilated and murdered, while the perpetrators remain at large. Every year, millions of women and girls are trafficked across international borders and forced or coerced into prostitution. This culture of abuse extends even to our own campus, where every year female students are raped and assaulted. Meanwhile, women and men everywhere are taking action to stop the violence. Hosted by Amnesty International 124, a program of the University YMCA, this conference will include workshops designed to raise awareness about these current issues, and to teach important skills for engaging in women’s rights activism, including fundraising, outreach and publicity, and how to organize effectively on a college campus.Amanda Flott, Field Organizer for the Amnesty International Midwest Regional Office, will be delivering the opening plenary, unveiling a new report by Amnesty International, "Maze of Injustice: The Failure to Protect Indigenous Women from Sexual Violence in the USA." Dr. Karen Flynn, professor of African-American studies here at UIUC, will be presenting "Sex Trafficking: Making the Global Connection" at the closing plenary.Whether you have signed a petition once in your life, or you are a seasoned activist, this conference is for you! This event will be held on Saturday, April 28th at the University YMCA, located at 1001 South Wright Street across from Lincoln Hall. Come at 10:30am for breakfast, we will begin at 11am and adjourn at 3:30. This conference is free and open to everyone!
