Steinem to shed light on human trafficking

Although best known as a pioneering feminist, Gloria Steinem always has been a civil rights advocate. Her work now extends to the burgeoning global problem of human trafficking. Steinem will give an Assembly Series talk titled “Sex Trafficking and the New Abolitionists” at 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, in Graham Chapel. Steinem hopes that a call to arms will help create policies to stem this rising tide of entrapment.
