She is a recipient of the 2011 regional Soroptimist International Ruby Award for Women Helping Women, and the 2012 Trafficking in America NGO Service Award.<\/p>\n

9:53 Derri Smith beginning. “Human Traffickers are predators.” \u00a0The needs they prey on cross all cultural and socio-economic bounds.<\/p>\n

Smith: Of teenage runaways each year, about 1,000 are trafficked.<\/p>\n

9:55 Cary Rayson introducing Magdalene. Child Sex Abuse is the biggest contributor to vulnerability to being sex trafficked.<\/p>\n

Magdalene sees a lot of young women who are addicted to drugs and must prostitute themselves.<\/p>\n

Sheila (Last name forthcoming) is a graduate of Magdalene and now works for the organization. Telling her story now.<\/p>\n

Was addicted drugs and needed to continue\u00a0prostitution, Found Magdalene program at an outreach event Trevecca. Came into program in Nov. 2004, got treatment. Greatest gift from program was the ability to forgive through a lot of\u00a0insensitive\u00a0treatment.<\/p>\n

Sheila: Believe it’s my calling to give back to women who are like me. Working on a\u00a0Psychology\u00a0degree.<\/p>\n

I’ve been in a lot of places in my life trying to get help. Magdalene worked for me because it gave me two years to work on all the issues that put me on the street in the first place.<\/p>\n

Learn more about Magdalene house:\u00a0www.thistlefarms.org<\/a>\/<\/p>\n

10:06\u00a0Margie Quin talking. Pic in TN looks grave. More than 1,500 minors were trafficked last year. 94 per month. More 18,000 registered sex offenders in TN. We have supply, and demand, and that’s a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n

10:08\u00a0Stephen Fogarty – A lot of roads lead to Atlanta. Just go to classified, online, escort services. Trafficking is everywhere. TN seems to be at the crossroads. Again, trafficking wouldn’t exist without demand.<\/p>\n

Question to Fogarty about relationship between offices and department. Last six months, especially, Being pro-active with Nashville Metro is helping. Being pro-active is key.<\/p>\n

Relationship with Derri and Cary is key, because that’s where a lot of victims feel more comfortable going.<\/p>\n

10:14 Cook stressing that sex trafficking affects everyone. All races.<\/p>\n

Cook: What we try to avoid is profiling victims. Audience should understand this is isolated to women. It also affects young boys. The key is identifying vulnerability and those situations that are ripe for abuse.<\/p>\n

Cook: \u00a0The internet has changed are relationship to goods and services. Even though I hate to put it that way. A victim could be any number of people. I don’t think you can be aggressive enough policing what your children are doing on the internet.<\/p>\n

10:18 Kallie Bienvenu is doing an amazing job on the\u00a0@WomensFundCFMT<\/a>\u00a0twitter acount. Join discussion at\u00a0#WFforum<\/a>\u00a0hashtag.<\/p>\n

10:20 Derri Smith on how victims come to End Slavery’s attention.<\/p>\n

Human Trafficking hotline is 1-855-558-6484. For victims, anyone suspicious of activity.<\/p>\n

10:23 Cary Rayson: I you’re wondering what you can do. Educate yourself on who might be victims of sex trafficking. We need to look carefully at what we are doing as a state to take care of the most vulnerable – i.e. victims of child sex abuse.<\/p>\n

10:23 Cook on relationship between State and Federal Offices.<\/p>\n

10:27 Turner: where TN compare to other states in addressing this problem.<\/p>\n

Quin: Can’t really compare, as studies and methodologies differ. But, TBI study discovered offices felt they weren’t adequately trained to identfy\u00a0situations\u00a0and victims. SO TBI rolled out comprehensive training for first responders. We really need to work together. As a member of law enforcement, we’d prefer to just lock people up, but we need witness, informed people, educated people, on what it looks like, what to look for, etc.<\/p>\n

“Human Trafficking Identification and Response” Card offers plethora of resources. Scan forthcoming.<\/p>\n

10:34 Fogarty can’t stress enough value of NGOs (Magdalene, End Slavery) in helping victims while law goes after traffickers.<\/p>\n

End Slavery Tennessee link:\u00a0www.endslaverytn<\/strong>.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Cook: Work and training of first responders and their relationship to victims is essential. They need to take care of them, not treat them as criminals and think about them as witness in the future.<\/p>\n

Rayson: We don’t feel a women needs to be a witness in order to heal. \u00a0Through my knowledge we have not had a women be a part of a criminal investigation that is current. We don’t believe a victim has to have that experience to heal. Not a disagreement with Cook, just a different view based on what we experience and how we work.<\/p>\n

SMith: Agrees with Rayson. Always a victim advocate. Care not dependent on prosecution, but adds that for those victims they have worked with that have gone through a legal process as witness, it has been\u00a0beneficial\u00a0for them. Two sides to the story.<\/p>\n

10:42 — Q &A time!<\/p>\n

Question: RE: Are we to be wary DCS, or are we to call? Confusing here.<\/p>\n

Rayson: DCS not a good or bad system. But it’s the system we have.<\/p>\n

Quin: We need to look at the process, and the two tracts available through DCS. Charging 13-year-old victims as criminals? Whoa.<\/p>\n

Turner. There is consensus, we just need to centralize efforts.<\/p>\n

Fogarty: Regarding interviews with victims, time and approach is of the essence. Very challenging situations. Between FBI, TBI, DCS.<\/p>\n

10:52 Question: What’s the plan to allocate resources to help teens BEFORE they need Magdalene?<\/p>\n

Smith: When we have foreign national victims, it’s easy to get resources. When we have United States victims, we don’t have resources. Where do we find funding? in between the cushions in the couches.<\/p>\n

Question re: perpetrators.<\/p>\n

Cook: Many perps were victims themselves, many motivated by money. But key, these manipulators are highly skilled. Motivated by money and exist in an underworld economy.<\/p>\n

The average age of a\u00a0prostitute\u00a0is 14. And that’s the age of demand. Again, demand.<\/p>\n

Sex trafficking. Fastest growing criminal enterprise in country if not the world. \u00a0The\u00a0penalties of selling a kilo of cocaine is harsher than selling a human being. REPEAT:\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0penalties of selling a kilo of cocaine is harsher than selling a human being. This is very lucrative business.<\/p>\n

10:58 Question – services\/training available through law enforcement agencies? Can they get help calling the local police?<\/p>\n

Quin: depends. If they call Metro Nashville, yes. Smaller agencies, maybe not. They will kicked up to TBI.<\/p>\n

Turner: Hotline, again, can help. Here you go: 1-855-558-64684. <\/del>1-855-558-6484<\/p>\n

11:01. Question, and a good one, from a young attendee. How can college-age adults get involved.<\/p>\n

Cook: Use student organizations to raise awareness, bring in speakers, etc. Smith concurs. \u00a0Contact End Slavery Tennessee<\/a>. They have tip sheets you can share.<\/p>\n

11:05 Turner, addressing panel, on what people can do to help. Cook’s collecting business cards if attendees want to go to next meeting on this topic.<\/p>\n

That’s it! Turner thanks attendees. Grace Awh, Women’s Fund Advisory Board Chair now address audience. Gives special thanks to Sheila for sharing her powerful story.<\/p>\n
