Bay Area native and widely recognized expert on the nature and costs of human trafficking, Minh Dang, spoke on "Freedom & Slavery—Moving Beyond Moral Judgment". Dang is a staunch advocate for survivors of child abuse and human trafficking and is developing strategies to support education, training and leadership development for survivors, while promoting the integration of individual and community healing. Dang has traveled extensively, telling her story of survival from child abuse and sexual slavery, which first reached the public domain in 2010 when MSNBC aired the documentary Sex Slaves in America: Minh's Story. Dang has served on the Board of Directors for Youth Engagement Advocacy Housing (YEAH), and as the Executive Director for Don't Sell Bodies (DSB), an anti-human trafficking initiative founded by Jada Pinkett Smith. With DSB, Dang helped launch the U.S. Senate Caucus to End Human Trafficking with Senators Rob Portman and Richard Blumenthal, and in May 2013, Dang was one of fifteen women recognized at the White House as a Champion of Change for her efforts to end human trafficking. Dang brings a human face to the issue of human trafficking, but also consciously chooses to move beyond her story to encourage dialogue on the larger issues. Recognizing this, Maddie Barber '15, summed up Dang's talk perfectly: "In order to address any issue, we must educate ourselves from the top down, to fully understand the interlocking factors that are influencing this problem."
