~ UPCOMING EVENTS ~

Liluye, in partnership with Second & 50 and We Fight Monsters, is extremely excited to announce our first, The Art of Healing the Mind Event on April 2nd at 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm (MST/UTC-7)! It’s in collaboration with two amazing artists, Ally Zlatar who is an Artist, Activist, Scholar, and Founder of The Starving Artist and Crystal McKee who is a Visual Artist, RTT Specialist, and Hypnotherapist.
 
This free, hands-on healing event is aimed at sex and labor trafficking survivors who are looking for another healing modality to add to their tool chest, addressing rooted self limiting beliefs and trauma. No experience is necessary. It will be held via Zoom and involve:
 
• a hands-on, experiential 30-minute drawing / art creation task and a 10-minute group discussion from presenter, Ally Zlatar.
• a short mindfulness exercise, a 50-minute three-part, hands-on experiential drawing / art creation task focused on one self limiting belief, and a 10-minute group discussion with presenter, Crystal McKee.
 
We’re hoping to address unhealed / unresolved trauma and unworthiness, while embracing your own unique abilities, challenges, voice, power, and resilience.
 

~ PAST EVENTS ~

To acknowledge Human Trafficking Prevention Month and National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, we featured five of our anti-trafficking team and partner leaders: Kristin Vaughn (Liluye Director of Survivor Affairs – U.S.), Brenna Wallace (Liluye Global Survivor Affairs Expert – Canada), Chylian Ify Azuh (Founder of FRMNET – Nigeria), Shandra Woworuntu (Founder CEO of Mentari – U.S., Caribbean, South Africa, and Indonesia), and Pallabi Ghosh (Founder of Impact and Dialogue Foundation – India).
 
This webinar focused on:
 
• Education: what it looks like in different schools, communities, and households in each presenter’s country, what gaps there are, how it could be improved, and what works and doesn’t.
• Prevention: how are organizations, authorities, and governments preventing trafficking in each presenter’s country, and what works and doesn’t.
• Engagement: what are some creative and/or effective ways that organizations can engage with the community and citizens to get involved in addressing and mitigating trafficking in each presenter’s country, how to motivate people to take more action (individually and collectively), and how can people get involved if they want to to make more impact.

Liluye´s Founder, Jill Langhus-Griffin, participated in the first annual, roundtable panel, Defending Men and Boys from Exploitation, along with Cranford Blackmon, Brenna Wallace, Andrea Smith, and Ena Lucia Mariaca Pacheco (January, 2023). The key topics included were: helping men and boys to feel safe and able to open up, where they can go for help, what true consent is, how societal views help to perpetuate generational cycles of abuse and violence and how to break those cycles, how to foster resilience in survivors, and what makes boys susceptible to violence.

A discussion on reintegrating trafficking survivors with our partner, Anxhela Bruci (from Empowerfull), joined by Julie Desai (a lawyer and human rights activist) and our Founder, Jill Langhus-Griffin. This recording was part of a series on human trafficking in 2022 and focuses on the experiences of two organizations supporting the reintegration process of survivors of human trafficking in Europe.

To wrap up National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month (2022), our two partners Shandra Woworuntu (Founder and CEO of Mentari), and Annalisa Gibbs (Founder and CEO of Eden’s Farm) joined our Founder, Jill Langhus-Griffin, for a special webinar discussing the 4P Paradigm of Anti Human Trafficking: Prevention, Protection, Prosecution and Partnership.
