How Much Does a Child Cost? The Journey of Kru Nam and Not For Sale Thu, Oct 7, 2010   5:45 PM   USF Main Campus, Fromm Hall Enter from Parker Street, btwn Golden Gate & Fulton San Francisco How Much Does a Child Cost? The Journey of Kru Nam and Not For Sale 27 million people are enslaved today and many of the victims are children. While human trafficking and slavery still beset every corner of the world, including the Bay Area, children in certain places are at special risk. In the Golden Triangle region of Thailand - along its borders with Burma (Myanmar) and Laos - there are hundreds of thousands of street children who are not recognized as citizens. As stateless people, these children are denied education, health care, and other opportunities and protections of citizenship, making them particularly vulnerable to exploitation. In this special forum, artist-activist Kru Nam and scholar-activist David Batstone will provide a report from the frontlines of this humanitarian challenge. They will talk about what they are doing to rescue and fight for the rights of street children in northern Thailand, what else must be done, and the many ways you too can help re-abolish slavery in our own time. “Kru Nam: Setting the Captives Free” Not for Sale Campaign - Thailand Projects FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; Reservations recommended. Presented by the Japan Policy Research Institute at the USF Center for the Pacific Rim and The Not For Sale Campaign. Cosponsored by Global Exchange, USF McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good, USF Erasmus Community; USF University Ministry, and the Fromm Institute for Lifelong Learning.
