A topic I've been wanting to cover for a while now is that of human trafficking.
And last week, myself and Kit Daniels had a chance to go out to the Human 2020 event.
And this was a showcasing of artists presenting their works in hopes of bringing more attention to the very serious issue.
I had a chance to speak to some of the people behind the event.
We're just impressed with the turnout this evening.
Yeah, Human 2020 is an initiative.
It is something that is coming from civil society.
It is going all over the world.
People are just picking it up and they're just saying, hey, what can we do to be part of the solution?
So here in Austin, we have a bunch of professional artists.
They came together.
They said they wanted to...
Create artwork to help raise the awareness around the issue in our city and around the world.
Hi, I'm Nisha Khanna, and I'm part of the Human 2020 Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative.
And over here we have salvaged jewelry.
It's jewelry created by women salvaged from difficult situations in Sri Lanka, such as human trafficking, abuse, poverty, and it creates jobs for these women.
It's made from 100% recycled materials, and the company's called Salvage, so that play upon the word of salvage materials for women that are salvaged.
And then all the proceeds go back into feeding that business and creating jobs for women and helping them get out of that situation and be financially independent.
And then we have some of the bangles.
I have these bracelets.
I strung two sets together.
I have that one.
And then I have these earrings.
The women get paid, and the people that produce the materials, they get paid for what they do and what they produce.
Then also, there's an additional amount on top of that.
That helps to fund other projects that Salvage supports in Sri Lanka.
So for example, the only HIV drop-in center in the country is funded by Salvage.
And Govinda left us with a few ways you can get involved outside of the event.
Well, I think part of it is...
Beginning to raise your own awareness, beginning to understand the issue.
I mean, you can connect with you in 2020, but I would suggest more, do something within your own community, do something within your own location, your own city, your own town.
Connect with people there.
Find out what's going on in your community.
