Kendall Alaimo has been involved in activism for years, working to prevent sex crimes against children, and training others in trauma, complex PTSD, resiliency, and more. In 2021, she was appointed a Member of the International Survivors of Trafficking Advisory Council (ISTAC) which assists the work of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) in combating trafficking in persons. Recently, she has noticed more than ever the need for educational opportunities for survivors of trafficking, something that is often out of reach for those living through experiences that leave them without proper funding or resources. She shares her own testimony of such experiences with being unable to accept university offers with the UN. It was these experiences and learning from other survivors across the world facing the same barriers that led Kendall to found the groundbreaking University Alliance on Human Trafficking in celebration of the UN’s World Day Against Trafficking in Persons this year. |
