Frederick Douglass: A Living Legacy- MECPATHS Ireland event on the occasion of the 18 October, EU Day against Human Trafficking.

 

MECPATHS Ireland sends us news of their outstanding event which they co-organised with the governmental Department of Justice and Equality, held in the Courthouse, Washington Street, Cork city, on 17 October.

The event titled ‘’Frederick Douglass: a Living Legacy,’’ sought to honour the efforts of the American abolitionist Frederick Douglass to counter slavery and examine our responses to Human Trafficking in Ireland today.

President Michael D. Higgins sent a letter of support, which was read at the event and Minister David Stanton, FG, Minister of State for Equality, Immigration and Integration spoke to us via satellite feed from overseas.  Inputs from Kevin Hyland, OBE; Senator Gerry Buttimer, FG; Assistant Garda Commissioner John O’ Driscoll; Mary Crilly, Sexual Violence Centre Cork and founding member of Cork Against Human Trafficking; JP O’ Sullivan and Ann Mara, MECPATHS Ireland and others, ensured those who attended were not only well informed but motivated to become involved in anti-human trafficking work within their own communities and further afield.
