To Stop Human Trafficking, We Must Take Care of Survivors | Agnes Igoye | TEDxLuziraPrison

Описание: Agnes was 14 when she first came face to face with a human trafficker. The Lord’s resistance Army (LRA) raided her home in rural eastern Uganda. Ruthless, they demanded virgins and young girls. In a horrifying escape, she endured a treacherous long journey that ended in an internally displaced people’s camp. That experience gave Agnes determination to pursue an education and career to counter human trafficking. She studied forced migration at Oxford, counter trafficking as a Fulbright Hubert Humphrey fellow at University of Minnesota and MPA at Harvard Kennedy school. Agnes has built a rehabilitation center for survivors of human trafficking in Uganda, serves as Uganda’s Deputy National Coordinator for Prevention of Trafficking in Persons and heads Uganda Immigration Training Academy.
