On Monday, October 16 at 6:30p.m. at the Mount Horeb Area Historical Society’s new Driftless Historium (100 S 2nd St, Mount Horeb), Rachel Monaco-Wilcox will present “Human Trafficking in Wisconsin.”
Cases of human trafficking have been identified in all 72 counties in Wisconsin. Yet most people doubt this, thinking “that can’t be happening here!” In her talk, Rachel will address the myths and misconceptions around sex trafficking, illuminate the situation here in Wisconsin and explain what led her to start the LOTUS (Legal Options for Trafficked and Underserved Survivors) legal clinic in 2013. She will share ideas for how citizens, like herself, can and have made a difference.
