On March 3, 2014, Reginald Williams was convicted for the trafficking of two teenagers, including a 16-year-old from the Metro St. Louis area. 
Caroline Fish worked with the U.S. Department of Justice office here in St. Louis to help get this trafficker convicted. A graduate student at Washington University’s George Warren Brown School of Social Work, Caroline is a human trafficking intern at the U.S. Attorney’s office. At the Brown school, she studies International Development and Global Issues with a focus on international human rights, particularly gender-based violence.
In addition to her work on human trafficking, Caroline also helped start “My Name is Strong,” a community anti-violence initiative, awareness, and arts campaign. She also started a project in 2010 to unite human rights activists across the globe.
On April 5th from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM, Caroline will join us to discuss the Reginald Williams case, trafficking awareness and prevention, and her experiences as a graduate student in social work. The event will be held at the Civitas Associates office.
Caroline will lead a discussion and present information on trafficking during the first half of the session, followed by a Q&A period. She will stay as a resource during the second part of the morning, which will be an Issues Roundtable on global gender issues, current events, and/or whatever students want to discuss.
You can find out more about Caroline’s interest and work on her LinkedIn, blog, and twitter.
