I put in more than a few hours at the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio, 1997-98, so I’ll promote a human rights conference they’re holding the weekend after next. The linked story is basically a news release about their “Dayton Human Trafficking Accords international conference,” November 9-10. Human trafficking is said to involve even the U.S., even the Midwest. ISTR horror stories involving Albanian and/or (former) Yugoslav refugees being enslaved in Europe also, at least during the ’90s.
