INVITE: Lydia Cacho in conversation with Rafael Mathus
Slavery Inc.: The Untold Story of International Sex Trafficking
round table discussion
The scourge of globalization has brought about new forms of slavery, power and corruption. Some examples are the horrific situation of exploited women and children, and the global criminal networks whose tentacles reach into the political world. What should be the role of journalism in light of these phenomena of global networks? What happens to the right of every citizen to stay informed? Can victims expect the full exercise of freedom of expression to be a source of hope in the face of Impunity?
