Northwest Conference Against Trafficking

 

This past January Soroptimists from all over the Northwestern Region and beyond joined us in Portland, Oregon for the Northwest Conference Against Trafficking.  After two years of successful Human Trafficking Forums sponsored by SI Southwest Washington, SI Vancouver, and SI Camas-Washougal, we are proud to announce that your Soroptimist Northwestern Region will continue to lead the Northwest Coalition Against Trafficking! 


The NWCAT is made up of many law enforcement agencies, government offices, media, non-profit organizations, United States Departments including the National Human Trafficking Resource Center and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and most importantly, the coalition is represented by many Soroptimist clubs throughout the Region.

 

Please Save the Date: January 14-16, 2011. 


The conference will be held at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon.  Conference speakers and highlights will be announced on March 8th (International Women's Day).
