 NATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS DAY
January 11 is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.
In commemoration of this day, the Women's Center will be conducting a collection drive through the month of January on behalf of the Bilateral Safety Corridor Coalition (BSCC).
The BSCC is an alliance of over 60 government and nonprofit agencies in the United States and Latin America that combat slavery and human trafficking. BSCC's purpose is to bilaterally prevent and intervene in the commercial and sexual exploitation of men, women and children while advocating for all exploited persons. Through the collaborative efforts of coalition members, BSCC administers a variety of projects and services for victims, law enforcement, and the community.
We will be collecting used cell phones, ink cartridges and laser toner cartridges to benefit BSCC and help in their efforts to combat human trafficking.
In addition, BSCC coalition members hand out purse-sized cosmetics labeled with hotline information to suspected victims of human trafficking. If you have any unused or unopened purse-size cosmetics such as compacts, mirrors, lipstick, nail polish, perfume, etc that is just collecting dust, please consider donating it to the UCSD Women's Center.
Donations may be dropped off at Student Center West Bldg. 290 (across from the Main Gym) or sent through inter-campus mail at MC 0096. Upon request, donors will be provided with a tax receipt.
