Barbara Amaya: Survivor of Sex Trafficking Lecture

Past event
Nov 29, 2017, 4:30 to 6 PM

Middlebury College's Stop Traffick (anti-human trafficking group) has invited Barbara Amaya to present a lecture on her experience as a victim of sex trafficking.

Many sex trafficking victims do not survive before or even after escape, rescue or attempted restoration. The events they have survived are so traumatic, so horrific that often survivors never come back to the 'real' world. Instead many lose their lives on the streets to violence, drugs, or never leave the world of trafficking and instead seem to disappear.

Barbara Amaya amazingly and incredibly not only survived and healed, she truly transformed her life.

After experiencing a true live changing epiphany, today Barbara now lives her life's purpose volunteers and works as an award winning author, human rights advocate and activist, lending her voice in multiple ways to the anti-trafficking movement as well as in the areas of domestic violence, trauma recovery, addiction, and sexual abuse.
