Progress Report #3

Our group has found a good system on what we are each going to do to make a successful action campaign. We all have our individual pieces and will each bring different things to the table for the presentation to make a good group project as a whole. My job for the project has been researching articles, news stories, and interviews with previously trafficked women. I have found an extensive amount of different articles and information that can be used in our presentation. There are so many people in this world that have been trafficked and with the new ability to share these stories through the media whilst still protecting the people that have been trafficked more of their stories can be heard. I am focusing on a few key stories about women that have been sexually trafficked through different countries and what they went through and how it has effected them now. My main story I have so far is Katya's story which is a very powerful and moving interview about one of the most horrendous trafficking experiences I have read about. Seeing these stories alone and seeing what atrocities that others have gone through will help make an effective campaign against human trafficking and make others want to help take action against this horrible thing that is happening right around us. I have also participated in group discussions and helped in making group decisions. I have also found information on how to make our action campaign successful and tips and tricks into what we can do to sway the audience in favor of our cause. I plan to help in putting together the powerpoint presentation when it comes time to do so as well.
