On Friday, Nov. 22, at 7:30 pm, in the parlor of the Centre Congregational Church, 193 Main St. in Brattleboro, Windham World Affairs Council will present “Movement Of People: Trafficking and Migrating in Southeast Asia Today.” The Speaker will be Braema Mathi, a Singapore-based human rights activist who is currently in the Global Fellows program at Keene State College, sponsored by the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation.
The talk will be free and open to the public. There will be coffee, tea and conversation from 7:00 and the talk will begin at 7:30.
Currently we are seeing many people in Southeast Asia moving from one country to another or within their own country to relocate, to work, to have a new beginning. Some of these moves are planned. Other moves are forced, and some who move are forced into work in deplorable situations. Braema Mathi’s presentation will be an overview of this phenomenon, a discussion of the factors and causes of these trends and an examination of measures that ought to be available so that people are protected.
