21st February 2012, 2 PM – 4:30 PM

Empower Foundation invite you to a press conference
• An overview of “Impact of Human Trafficking Law and Human Rights Violation Against Women in Sex Work” by the Director of Empower, Chantawipa Apisuk
• The premier screening of Empower film “สาวน้อยผจญภัย – Last Rescue in Siam” – a short black and white film made in the tradition of the old silent movies. ]
• First public display of the “Mida Tapestry”. This large embroidered artwork was sewn by migrant sex workers as a way to document and show the impact police raids have on their lives.
• “HIT & RUN – Sex worker Research on Trafficking in Thailand”, this document combines the results of 12 months research done by over 200 sex workers on the human rights impact of anti trafficking law across Thailand.

We anticipate our audience will include representatives from relevant government departments, UN agencies, Thai and International NGO’s, and other members of civil society. There will be ample time to explore the displays, talk with sex workers many of whom were part of the project and also those who starred in the film.
