The Three Headed Eagle Alliance is sponsoring a lecture, "The Failed War on Human Trafficking," on Aug. 15 by Christine Dolan, a broadcast and print investigative journalist, photographer and author, who is recognized as one of the most seasoned investigators of human trafficking in the world, the organization announced.
Dolan’s career has focused on U.S. and international politics and policy, wars/conflicts, humanitarian disasters and terrorist and criminal networks. Since 2000, she has focused on human trafficking and terrorism worldwide as well as international politics and policy. She investigates not just those who are trafficked and trafficking, but also those who have been falsely accused of trafficking, the announcement said.
Before President Clinton signed the US Anti-Trafficking Bill in October 2000, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children in the United States commissioned Dolan as an independent journalist to investigate the exploitation of children emanating from the Balkan crisis, a war she had covered in the early 1990s.
At that point, she co-owned and produced an international policy series that was syndicated across the PBS network. As a result of this commission, Dolan's groundbreaking human trafficking report, Shattered Innocence - The Millennium Holocaust, was released at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. in 2001, and endorsed by then UK Detective Paul Holmes, the head of the Interpol Trafficking Committee, the announcement said.
Arnold Burns, former U.S. Deputy Attorney General, called it "the best work on human trafficking. Christine nailed the connection of the dots of this global phenomenon," the announcement said.
The event will be held at the Eaglebrook Country Club, 2288 Fargo Blvd., Geneva, IL, from 6-8 p.m. with a cash bar opening at 5 p.m. No food will be served. A $15 door fee is requested.
