Placeholder Image
MONROE - Monroe United Methodist Church will host two events Sunday about human trafficking and how to prevent it.

The first event is designed for parents, teachers, pastors and other community leaders to inform them about the problem of human trafficking and how to prevent area teens from being victims. It will be held at 3 p.m. at the church, 2227 4th St., Monroe, across from Monroe Clinic Hospital.

The second event is aimed at high school and college students. It will be held at 7 p.m. at the church.

The workshops will be led by church member Callie Berget, a Monroe High School graduate, and her team from Exploit No More in Milwaukee.

Exploit No More exists to empower Milwaukee's children to rise out of sex trafficking. Its goal is to lend voices to children who have been sold for sex, to mobilize the community and to effect change, including long-term residential aftercare to children freed from commercial sexual exploitation.

The events are free and open to the public. There will be an offering for the continued work of Exploit No More in Milwaukee.
