Triumph Over Trafficking and Sexual Abuse:
Screening and Live Panel Discussion

Alamo Drafthouse - Tempe Location

Doors open at 5:30 pm

Tickets: bit.ly/amplifyatalamo

Seven women stepped onto a stage to share their own experiences of trafficking and sexual assault. These are stories of triumph. These are stories of empowerment. These are messages that touch every single person who listens, regardless of their experience.

Join us for this important conversation and take part in the solution.

VUU member Amanda Schneider is one of the seven women who spoke in March at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts of her own story of sexual assault.  Together, these messages of triumph, while not easy to talk about or to hear, transformed the lives of those in the original audience, and this event is one step in amplifying those messages further into our world.
 
These are stories of triumph. These are stories of empowerment. These are messages that touch every single person who listens, regardless of their own experience with the topic. Following the screening, the speakers will be participating in a live panel discussion, joined by Kathleen Winn, Executive Director of Project 25 (an organization dedicated to ending sexual exploitation by 2025.)

Statistically, 1 in 3 women has been sexually assaulted. Only 0.4% of survivors of human trafficking are identified. Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. This is an important topic that is affecting our community.

This event is presented by Amplify Voices - a non-profit project, whose mission it is to discover and amplify the voices of those who have been historically silenced, misunderstood and oppressed to foster a world of understanding and a harmonious coexistence.
