Haley comes to us from Santa Barbara, where she conducted environmental research for Conservation International, a DC-based NGO.  She also did her masters work at UC Santa Barbara in Global and International Studies, where she focused on garment factory labor and labor abuse.  Part of this work included a Trade Programs Fellowship with International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF).  Haley’s motivation to fight global slavery arises largely from her experiences in the developing world.  Her Cambodian friends struggled to find decent work, while she watched the restaurants of Ho Chi Minh’s tourist center lined with impoverished sex workers. These type of experiences burnt in Haley a drive for social justice.

Christina Bacino graduated from Oral Roberts University in 2005, with a degree in English Education. After a year of teaching high school English, she moved to Cape Town, South Africa to work in the local townships. She learned about human trafficking during this time and the possible increase of this injustice due to the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa. Christina then spent a year and a half going to schools, churches, and NGO's to teach the most vulnerable how to protect themselves against human trafficking.
