Human Trafficking
The Jewish Human Rights Network is staging an exclusive series of intimate round table talks,
featuring a wide range of experts in human rights discussing topical issues. In the second of these talks
members of the JHRN will have an opportunity to discuss this important issue with Helen Bamber OBE who has
particular expert knowledge of this concerning situation.
At least 4000 women and girls
are trafficked into the UK each year and sold into prostitution.
Helen Bamber OBE will be speaking to an intimate audience of Jewish Human
Rights Network members
about the problem of human trafficking and what role the Jewish community
can play in bringing an end to this form of slavery.
Helen Bamber was born to
Jewish parents of Polish descent. Her career in human rights began aged 19
when she volunteered to work with survivors in Belsen. She established
the Medical Foundation for the Care
of Victims of Torture in 1985.
In 1997, she received the OBE. She has since established the Helen
Bamber Foundation, which works with
survivors of genocide, torture,
trafficking and rape, providing them with practical support and treatment
to
deal with their past and build new futures.
Places at this event will be limited to a maximum of 30. Book early to avoid disappointment.
