Friday,  April 13, 2007

Hunter  College (Brookdale  Campus) 
425 East 25th Street , New York, New York,  10010  

The Unitarian  Universalist United Nations Office (UU-UNO) 2007  Annual 
Intergenerational Spring Seminar, "Stop Modern Day Slavery: Breaking the Web of 
Human  Trafficking," will address a critical issue facing people  across the 
world and in our own backyard. Former United Nations  Secretary-General Kofi Annan 
has stated, "The trafficking of persons,  particularly women and children, 
for forced and exploitative labor, including  for sexual exploitation, is one of 
the most egregious violations of human rights  which the United Nations now 
confronts." This year's intergenerational seminar  aims to educate, raise 
awareness, and create avenues for actions and advocacy to  fight this deplorable 
abuse of human rights.  
The Unitarian  Universalist United Nations Office, in collaboration with the 
Americans For  Informed Democracy (AID), is now accepting applications for 24 
selected students  for their intergenerational spring seminar "Stop Modern Day 
Slavery: Breaking the Web of Human  Trafficking," in New York City. 
Registration costs will be  waived for the selected AID participants, but there will be 
a modest cost for  lunch. The seminar will take place at Hunter College 
(Brookdale Campus) on  Friday, April 13th, 2007 in New York City. 
This is a  working seminar, and we look  forward to your complete 
participation. Our day will be full, and while it will  be fun in its own right, it does 
not allow time for general sightseeing. Though  we encourage all of our 
participants to take advantage of the seminar's  location, we urge that you invest 
in  extra time for exploring New York City.  
More  information on the confirmed speakers and the general structure of the 
seminar  will follow later. For general information about UU-UNO organization 
mission and  goals, please visit our web site at _www.uu-uno.org_ 
(http://www.uu-uno.org/)  
To  apply for "Stop Modern Day Slavery:  Breaking the Web of Human 
Trafficking," please send a copy  of your resume (with your name in the subject line) 
together with a 250-word  essay on the topic "Why Breaking the Web of Human 
Trafficking is Important to  Me" to Luanda Domi at _ldomi at uu-uno.org_
