According to
EndSlaveryTN.org, there are 94 children trafficked in Tennessee every month.
Human rights advocates agree this must end, but it starts with educating the
general population that it is happening.
To that end, the
Church of Scientology will host the community for a panel discussion on this
topic on September 21st which is also the International Day of Peace. According
to internationaldayofpeace.org, the United Nations General Assembly declared
September 21 as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within
and among all nations and peoples.
Organizations coming
together for this event include Free for Life International, the Nashville
Peacemakers, Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, and more.
The panel discussion
will center around the theme “Exposing the Hidden World of Human Trafficking.”
It will bring together people that work day in and day out on eradicating the
problem, including panelists Clemmie Greenlee, Founder of the Nashville
Peacemakers; Melody Fowler-Green, Director of the Metro Human Relations
Commission; Assistant District Attorney Tammy Meade; Allasone Lita G., CEO and
Founder of All Is One; and Gabrielle Thompson, Executive Director of Free for
Life International.
Rev. Brian Fesler,
pastor of the Church of Scientology says, “The purpose of this discussion is to
educate people about the issue in the context of human rights. No man, woman or
child should ever have to endure such a situation. We want to make people
aware, show what they can do to help end this problem.”
