Keynote| Trainer| Certified Peer Support Specialist (SC) with Lived Experience of Trafficking and Houselessness.
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) are disproportionately represented in human trafficking statistics. Here are some statistics that show the racial disparities in trafficking: Black youth Black children are more likely to be arrested for juvenile prostitution (child sexual abuse) than other racial groups, making up 53% of all arrests. Black girls are also more likely to be trafficked at a younger age. For example, in King County, Washington, 52% of child sex trafficking victims are Black, even though Black children and adults only make up 7% of the population. Black women According to a two-year review of suspected human trafficking incidents, 40% of sex trafficking victims were Black women. In Cook County, Illinois, 66% of sex trafficking victims between 2012-2016 were Black women. In Nebraska, 50% of people sold online for sex are Black, even though Black people only make up 5% of the population. The National Human Trafficking Hotline also reports that Latinos are disproportionately represented among human trafficking victims and survivors. The sources of these statistics are The Polaris Project, The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and Rights4Girls. #juneteenth #bipoc #survivorleaders
June 19, 1865—Juneteenth—is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. As we celebrate and remember this day, we also recognize the reality that there are still millions of people around the world who are experiencing modern slavery. HTI celebrates this day while holding on to tangible hope, knowing that we can make a difference. #Juneteenth #June19 #EndModernSlavery #StopTraffickers

Founding Executive Director at International Multidisciplinary Neuroscience Research Centre (IMNRC asbl/vzw)
When I called for a fundamental world paradigm revolution more than 30 years ago, I expected to be called an eccentric. I wasn't. The Interface Paradigm (1rst Edition) immediately sold out. But no action taken: too scared. June 2024. European Commission President: Prof Vivian R. F. Linssen D. I. Von der Leyen IS A US PUPPET WARMONGER KEY SUPPORTER OF THE PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE WHO HAS BEEN SELECTED BY THE EPP GROUP FOR A SECOND MANDATE WHICH MEANS THAT THE EPP GROUP SUPPORTS THE PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE. Stand ins in front of the EU Institutions - European Commission, European Parliament, Council of Europe and before the EU Member States' EU Representations in each Member States shall be organised against von der Leyen and her dictatorial policy imposed on the EU citizens without their informed consent. Dr. Von der Leyen is interested in control, profit and power. Professor Linssen is interested in the well-being and quality of life of eight billion human beings at interconnected personal, family, neighbourhood, local, regional, national, continental and world levels. Von der Leyen does not have the calibre to govern Europe. She is weak, vulnerable, power hungry and therefore easily manipulated. Guterres: same issue. THERE IS NOW ONLY ONE PERSON AND ONE PROGRAMME THAT CAN RESTORE WORLD PEACE. There ISN'T ANYBODY ELSE FOR GOD'S SAKE! RESHARING AND LIKING MY POST BELOW IS NOT ENOUGH TO CATALYSE GLOBAL ACTION! We need full support from ALL NATIONS!!! See 👇: I am not imagining things but there clearly is an overwhelming worldwide plebiscite for the following: 1. https://lnkd.in/erHnd4rT 2. https://lnkd.in/ehuS9eXj 3. https://lnkd.in/e6kDYAws 4. https://lnkd.in/eThHWCFd 5. https://lnkd.in/e6-q-Vr9 6. https://lnkd.in/dnCVjBtd 7. https://lnkd.in/eamkZ2ek 8. https://lnkd.in/eCn_-HfX 9. https://lnkd.in/eHZhuDZZ 10. Difference between the WEF & the NCBP! https://lnkd.in/eK3qBB_f WHO or WHAT can bring back peace to the world? Is there anyone else among the eight billion minus one human beings on this planet? There is? WHO? There isn't? Then I respectfully ask for World politico-financial support to rethink the world together. Then NATO would not be needed anymore. Nor would any other EU defense. A World Army would only be useful in case of hostile invasion by an alien species. I REQUEST A NCBP WORLD MEETING TO SET UP AN INTERFACE GOVERNANCE BASED NEW WORLD CONSTITUTION, WITH - AND NOT IMPOSED ON - EIGHT BILLION HUMAN BEINGS. SINCE MOST AGREE, LET'S GET ON WITH THE WORLD NCBP SUMMIT! One of the main reasons why there is such difficulty managing this world is our civilisation's inability to connect the dots which requires an understanding of global complexity, something that is outside mainstream education competence but provided by the IMNRC. For example, connecting the dots is essential for a smooth running Interface Locality. Invest in the Education of Tomorrow: Interface Education 🙂

What would you do if someone stole your house and livelihood, killed some of your family members in the process, left the rest of you with nothing, and forced you to live in the squalor of a refugee camp? That is what Israel did to over 750,000 Palestinian in 1948, over 300,000 in 1967, and over 250,000 since then, and more every year. Most of the families in Gaza owned homes and farms where Israeli cities and towns now stand, which Israel literally stole from them. Many still even have the keys, and some homes still stand with Jewish immigrants living in them now. I also cry for the 36 innocent Israeli children killed on October 7th, but this horrible conflict did NOT start on that day. The proof is the nearly 2300 Palestinian children Israeli soldiers and settlers killed between the year 2000 and October 2023, including 43 children during the 9 months just before October 7th (all names & details documented on BTselem.org). Not to mention Israel’s brutal 57 year occupation/apartheid, and the blockade of Gaza since 2005 — both illegal under international law, and simply immoral and inhumane.. And now Israel is committing genocide and our government is helping them do it. Israel has killed over 12,000 Palestinian children in under 5 months, has orphaned over 25,000 more children, and has made over 900,000 children homeless during winter. And Israel is still blocking international aid to these children, increasingly killing them with starvation, dehydration, and disease, in addition to killing them with U.S. supplied bombs and ammunition. They’ve literally been amputating children’s legs without anesthesia. Can you imagine if that happened to your child? Aid agencies have even had to come up with a new acronym: WCNSF, which stands for Wounded Child No Surviving Family. Do you really think Hamas will need to teach the children who survive this hell to hate Israel, or is Israel’s indiscriminate brutality doing it for them, as it has for 75 years? PLEASE WRITE & CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES & the White House to demand that they stop helping Israel kill and starve children, commit war crimes, and maintain its brutal and racist apartheid, with our tax dollars. Our government has the power to end this unimaginable cruelty by simply refusing to send more weapons and ammunition to Israel, and by also not vetoing any more UN Security Council resolutions for a ceasefire. And if you still believe the lie that this ethnic cleansing and genocide by Israel is the only way it can beat Hamas and ensure its security, please read and share this article that explains the much more effective way that Israel has been ignoring: https://lnkd.in/gY98T9mc

Conflict can sometimes bring a sense of hopelessness and fear, and yet Dr. King never gave up in his relentless pursuit of justice through nonviolence. Some may say this is the work we mediators do, as we bridge understanding and heal. #MLK #MLKDay #MartinLutherKing #ihaveadream #peace #peaceandjustice #nonviolence #martinlutherkingjr #blackhistory #civilrights #martinlutherkingday #mlkjr #blackhistorymonth #justice #freedom #martinlutherkingjrday

I disagree strongly. Family left behind has to deal with emotional, community, and economical damage for the rest of their lives: Mother, father, brothers, sisters, wife, children, relatives, friends, schoolmates, medical staff, 1st responders, soldiers, and neighbors. I am a child of a father, a soldier, that did not address his mental health issues and cost people and himself their lives. There are so many other healthy ways to voice your opinion and make a diference. Stick around for your family. It counts. LONG TERM efforts are more impactful. Other more powerful options: ! Blog. ! Podcast. ! Write a piece of legislation . ! Fundraise. ! Create media posts. ! Adopt refugees. ! Present speeches. ! Attend rallies. ! Write letters. ! Pray. ! March in front of the building for 30 days. ! Do interviews. ! Write a book. ! Run for office. ! Find employment that supports your cause. ! Volunteer to support your cause. Society will always have people that need mental help. Condoning such horrific acts does not help society. Self mutilation is a mental illness. Get help if you see warning signs.

People think that because we have healthy boundaries , we're "shutting them out." Oh, to the contrary. Boundaries are only visible to those who have access; those who don't are behind locked doors. Beloved, never be too afraid to have and enforce boundaries. They're there for your peace of mind and the well-being of your relationships. Without them, you find yourself in chaos, conflict, and resentment. #boundaries #boundariesmatter #boundarysetting #FlorenzaSays #peaceofmind #peacebuilding #peacemakers #narrative #trusttheprocess
