Freedom Summit 2009 - A SF Bay Area conference on modern slavery and human trafficking

The Freedom Summit is a San Francisco Bay Area conference on modern slavery and human trafficking. The goal of the conference is to inspire, equip, and unite people from around the Bay Area who will take a stand against the injustice of slavery.

An estimated 27 million people are slaves today, more than during 400 years of the transatlantic slave trade. The sale of human beings is the third largest illicit trade following drugs and weapons, but is growing faster than both of these. An estimated 50% of the victims are children and 80% are women. The problem is huge, we need your help!
