Peace & Justice Faculty Lunch Talk: The IBSA Irony: (Un)Realized Social Justice for Brazilian Trafficking Victims

Presented by Dr. Tania Rosas-Moreno, Communication and Media, Professor

Human trafficking is the world’s second largest criminal enterprise, occurring EVERYWHERE, even in every zip code here in the United States. This is because while drugs and arms can only be sold once, the human body can be sold repeatedly. Brazil, consistently ranked among the world’s top ten and is Latin America’s leading economies/economy, is also a world trafficking hot spot, but more so for labor trafficking than for sex. An award-winning telenovela, or television mini-series, has helped transition and mitigate this. Join us to learn how (news) media can be powerful allies and heroes in advocating for folks’ rights to and for their greatest possession: their bodies.
