Global Disconnects: The Internet & Human Trafficking
February 20-21, 2009 Berkeley, California
Brought to you by The Center for Race & Gender (UC
Berkeley), Students & Artists Fighting to End Human
Slavery (Northern CA), and The End Internet Trafficking
Coalition (USA)
As the internet has become more and more a part of the everyday in the U.S. and
the global north, questions have arisen: How has the internet used as a tool
for violence, for the trafficking and sexual exploitation of people? How has
it used as a tool for social change to counter violence? In 2008 the End Internet
Trafficking Coalition formed to address the increasing usages of services on
the web to exploit people through labor and sex violence. In an effort to further
the conversations that began with a national call through emails to collaborate,
the coalition recorded an online presentation on the issue. February 20-21, 2009,
in a conference meeting titled, "Global Disconnects: The Internet & Human
Trafficking" the coalition and collaborators will be meeting at UC Berkeley
to address the complexities of human trafficking and the technoscapes of the
web, as well as the prospects for countering human trafficking through theory
and practice.
