It seems that some people need something like that to really face reality.

It sounds like a powerful message, especially because it goes far beyond just words. But how does this happen? What universities offer this event? Is there a list? Should we locally be trying to encourage our colleges and universities to implement this program? It’s not that I am at a point where I want to take on yet another huge, or small, project; but there could be others in our branch or region who would be able to do that.
I have been retired for over a decade, and my public school and college experiences are a long time in the past. I remain an avid reader and one always interested in women’s rights; however, I am not directly involved in schools at any level. I am a lifetime AAUW member now, and in our chapter there are women very active in specific AAUW issues and actions, in the areas of law and education. I will certainly be talking with those local leaders re the Tunnel.

Does AAUW have a public policy position on this issue?

However, I am trying to get AAUW interested in the Women and Girls Sexual Trafikking project that some of the Soroptomists groups (Portland, OR and Lower Washington State in particular) are presenting. West coast ports are entry points for this activity for assorted reasons (compared to the east coast.
