Christine Stark, author of Nickels: A Tale of Dissociation (Modern History Press, 2011), has previously presented twice at the UN alongside women from around the world about the survival and strength of women and girls. Being an Indigenous, and a survivor of family-based trafficking and sex abuse, Stark has organized the panel on empowering sex trafficked Indigenous women, which is the focus of her writing and research now. She tells:

“I was asked to be on the first panel to speak to surviving torture as a child in family-based sex trafficking and incest-essentially to speak about what it was to be a battered child, and how it impacts me now both personally and in my writing and organizing.”

The Indigenous Panel

Indigenous North American women will address the lack of systems protections for Indigenous prostituted and trafficked women by discussing the historical and contemporary impact of sexual exploitation of Indigenous women in North America.

The interconnections among prostitution, trafficking, mineral extraction, land, and water with the attempted genocide of Indigenous people will provide context for the myriad barriers prostituted and trafficked Indigenous women currently encounter.

Lastly, strategies to assist Native prostituted and trafficked women access public services and to create culturally appropriate, sustainable infrastructure for gender and racial equality that will empower Indigenous women will be outlined.
