Presented by: Kristina Sachs, Justice Advocate at International Justice Mission
Speaker Bio: Over the past 10 years, Kristina Sachs has devoted her life to helping the vulnerable and oppressed and will discuss the critical issues surrounding present-day slavery, human trafficking, and violent exploitation - both here and abroad. As an Advocate Volunteer, Kristina serves International Justice Mission, the human rights agency that brings rescue to exploited victims by working alongside local authorities, provides aftercare and legal support, and works to prosecute perpetrators and ensure public justice systems effectively protect the poor while operating in 18 countries around the world. In her role as public speaker and educator, Kristina connects churches, community organizations and individuals with resources and opportunities to engage in the anti-slavery movement. On a local level, Kristina is a member of the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force and recently appointed to their Advisory Council which serves as a catalyst for community involvement. Having served other non-profit organizations, including World Vision, she has co-facilitated leadership seminars in Haiti, helped to reconstruct homes in hurricane-torn Mississippi, visited orphanages in Romania, and met with missionaries in Ethiopia who serve the indigenous Suri tribe.
