KEYNOTE SPEAKER: ALIA AZARIAH
It’s our sincerest honor to present Keynote Speaker and Refuge for Women Chicago 2018 graduate: Alia Azariah.
Alia is an inspirational survivor of human trafficking who has transformed her traumatic experiences into a powerful educational journey. Having been sex trafficked both as an adult and a minor, Alia found healing and empowerment through dedicated aftercare services. Alia aims to convey a crucial message: we all have a part to play in the fight against trafficking, and every survivor is worth fighting for. Her mission is to inspire change and unity in the fight against human trafficking.
She is currently the Director of Aftercare at Safe House Project, and it’s our honor to have her back in the area to share her heart, experience, and motivate you!
