May Week is a Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. tradition used to educate a chapter’s service community on a specific social issue. This year’s activities are dedicated to educating the community about Human Trafficking: Child Exploitation. To draw attention to the growing problem of human trafficking, specifically, child human trafficking, the Fort Bragg Area Alumnae Chapter will present the following May Week 2012 programs:
Wednesday, May 23, 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM – Main Post Theater at Intersection of Macomb St. and Reilly St., on the Fort Bragg Military Installation, screening of the film “Playground,” with panel discussion immediately following;
Thursday, May 24, 6:15 PM to 8:30 PM – Hope Mills Library in Hope Mills, N.C., the presentation of Town Hall Darkness to Light Training in partnership with the Child Advocacy Center, and

Human trafficking is related to sex and labor. The federal definition of human trafficking is when a person is induced by force, fraud or coercion to perform a sex act for money or anything of value or work under the total or near-total control of another person or organization. Human trafficking is considered modern-day slavery. According to the International Labour Organization, human trafficking generates $32 billion annually. In light of the Shaniya Davis incident locally, the fort Bragg Area Alumnae Chapter wanted to bring awareness to this troubling issue.
