VALDOSTA — 美高梅博彩 will unite to take a stand against slavery and human trafficking from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 22, at the 学生会. “照亮奴隶制日”活动将包括下午12:30至1:30在学生会台阶上举行的特别仪式。
The event is a collaboration between vs上’s Office of Student Life, Department of Student Diversity and Inclusion, and Department of Student Leadership and Volunteer Services. “照亮奴隶制日”是由“终结奴隶制运动”（End It Movement）发起的全球行动主义日。“终结奴隶制运动”是一个由主要非营利组织组成的联盟，旨在结束现代奴隶制。
Students, faculty, staff, alumni, retirees, and friends of the university are invited to visit the second floor of the 学生会 on Thursday to have a red “X” — the symbol of the anti-slavery movement — drawn on their hand. A photo booth will be provided, and those who post a photo to social media and tag @vsu_studentlife and @enditmovement and use the hashtag #VStateinittoENDIT will receive a free T-shirt for becoming a “Freedom Fighter.”
特别仪式从中午12时30分开始，到下午1时30分结束，将举行为奴隶制度和人口贩卖受害者献上红烛的默哀仪式。 协调员将解释“结束它”运动，并分享幸存者的证词。 vs上咨询中心的工作人员也将出席会议，讨论他们的服务，并为那些感兴趣的人安排约会。
“We’re hosting this event to raise awareness and to let people know that human sex trafficking is a real thing,” said Rachel Dawkins, a public relations major from Tallahassee, Florida, and one of the event coordinators. “It’s not just in Europe or somewhere far away. It’s also in Atlanta and in Valdosta; it’s in our own backyard. People need to know about it because it’s such a big thing. 我们可以阻止它。
“What’s crazy to me is that slavery exists in every country even though it’s illegal in every single nation in the world. We want to make it known so that we can end it.”
志愿者们需要从周四上午9点到下午5点30分分发传单和t恤。 Contact De’Essence Cox, graduate assistant for the Office of Student Life, at dlcox@valdosta.edu to sign up. 志愿者将免费获得一件t恤。
今天，全世界有4000多万男人、女人和儿童遭受人口贩运和现代奴役的剥削。 五分之一的奴隶受害者是18岁以下的儿童。 亚特兰大是美国最大的人口贩卖和奴隶制中心之一。
“This is something bigger than ourselves,” Dawkins said. “This is an epidemic, and we can help those who can’t speak for themselves. We can be that light and show victims and survivors that we’re here for them and they’re not alone.”
