STRAPWA National Conference Combating Sex Trafficking through a Multi-Disciplina

Jabali will speak about his recently published book, Slave, which documents his first hand experience as a victim of human trafficking. When he was six years old, living in Berkeley California, he was trafficked along with his sister over the border into Mexico and held captive by a messianic doomsday sex cult. Jabali spent years being beaten, tortured, starved, sexualized, brainwashed, and confined to a dark closet in both Mexico and the United States. He will also cover how he overcame his trauma and his experiences which are also documented in his book, Slave.
