Catholic Church of St. Ann to hold human trafficking forum

St. Ann human trafficking forum

Last week we mentioned a human trafficking discussion at Mt. Bethel UMC that featured Mary Frances Bowley, who leads a local organization fighting childhood sexual abuse and exploitation.

She’s going to be back in the community again next Thursday at a forum on the topic at the Catholic Church of St. Ann.

It’s called “Get the F.A.C.T.S.,” and the acronym stands for Fighting to Abolish Child Trafficking for Sex. The forum is from 6:30-8 in Nolan Hall at the church (4905 Roswell Road).

Bowley started Wellspring Living, which was started in Atlanta in 2011. She  is a member of the Georgia Statewide Human Trafficking Task Force, and will be joined at the St. Ann forum by representatives from the Cobb District Attorney’s Office and the Cobb County Police Department.

The event is part of Human Trafficking Awareness Month across the country.
