There are so many great organizations and people doing amazing things around the world to fight child trafficking and exploitation. I wish there was a way they could all meet together for a day, or a couple of days, to put their heads together and join forces.
For example, I would love to see Gary Haugen of IJM, author Siddharth Kara, one of the Rachels from The SOLD Project (hi Rachels!), Rob Morris of Love146, and maybe one of the cool teens from Minga, just to make it really diverse and interesting.
Who would you want to hear have a discussion on prevention, education, abolition, restoration, legal justice, economic policy, and all of the other things that need to come into play to make human trafficking a thing of the past? Who would be part of your anti-trafficking thought tank dream team?

I would add Linda Smith from Shared Hope International.
Aaron Cohen has just returned from doing slave retrievals in Burma, Cambodia and Thailand and is heading out to Mexico shortly to do more. He's the founder of www.AbolishSlavery.org and has been doing retrievals and assessments for 15 years. He was instrumental in the passage of the TIPS Act of 2000.
Please invite James & Athena Pond, founders of www.transitionsglobal.org. They have been working in Cambodia and are now establishing a domestic shelter in Portland, OR for minor victims of sex trafficking.
