HUMAN TRAFFICKING: IMAGES OF VULNERABILITY Photo Exhibit

A good friend has a show at the UN showing her photos from trips to South and Southeast Asia to bring more awareness of human trafficking. It's hard to imagine that some of these situations exist, and sad to see that many of them involve children.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING: IMAGES OF VULNERABILITY is on exhibit at the UN Visitors' Gallery, 1st Avenue at 46th Street, New York, NY 10017, from October 29th through November 18th, 2007.

There's still time to go see it!

Taken from the promo:
Kay Chernush's powerful images of sex and labor exploitation commissioned by the US State Department are featured with the photography of Howard G. Buffett and Academy Award nominated director Robert Bilheimer, in an exhibition that puts a face on modern-day slavery and the worldwide problem of human trafficking. "These pictures are a dramatic representation of a crime that shames us all. Art is a powerful advocacy tool to motivate people to take action especially in the defense of women and children," said Mr. Antonia Maria Costa at the October 29th opening.
