Dawn Manske CEO/Founder, Made for Freedom
Dawn Manske, the founder of Made for Freedom, fights human trafficking with style. She witnessed the atrocities of human trafficking firsthand during her ten years living in China.Read More
After meeting children being used as slave labor and seeing a report with girls under ten being sold to men, she knew she had to do something to inflict change. Dawn started the social enterprise, Made for Freedom with an idea revolving around her favourite international clothing. The company has grown into a lifestyle brand carrying clothing, bath & body, jewellery, home goods, and more. They have partnered with over 20 restoration centres/suppliers worldwide and provided over 25,000 hours of dignified employment for survivors of trafficking and those coming from marginalised situations. In addition, she has been a guest speaker for conferences, news programs, and the US State Department to present on the impact of dignified employment in the fight against human trafficking. Dawn’s passion, stories, and insights into the fashion industry and supply chains will not only inspire but also expand one’s view of how to make a difference.

A/Prof Colleen B Kelly
Chair and Co-Founder of the IASC, Colleen brings 40 years of experience teaching police and lecturing at Universities around the world to her passion – the economic end of slavery.Read More
Be it banking, anti-money laundering or the latest computer technology and emergency phone apps, or helping charities and NGO’s with grant approvals, Colleen has devoted a lifetime to public service, and her Aussie sense of humour brings the crowds back year after year making the horrid topic of human trafficking and labour slavery somehow bearable.
Today, Colleen will go through the red flags to recognise people being trafficked. You will learn the secret hand signal that is saving lives, and what to do if you see that signal. How to act within the law, and not put the victim in danger.
You will also hear about how you can now shop slave-free. With new blockchain technology it will soon be possible to scan a clothing item, and be able to see the artisan, where it was made, where the cotton came from, the zipper and buttons, the entire supply chain.
And, hear about how green barcodes are changing the world – be able to flip over that Snickers bar and see if it’s a green barcode (meaning the company guarantees their product is slave-free), or if it’s the ordinary black barcode.
Lean about new free shopping guides and information so that you don’t unknowingly support slavery with your purchase choices.

Tina DeCola Human Trafficking Awareness for 911 operators
Tina DeCola combines her 20 years of extraordinary experience as a 911 operation while also an instructor for the Denise Amber Lee Foundation.Read More
In Ms DeCola’s words “Being a part of the 911 community is a profession that I truly love. I took a 911 call from a victim and it changed my life. Finding there was no training for our dispatchers and very minimal training for fire and ems compelled me to get more involved.”
Ms. Decola wrote the protocol that is in effect for all Southern Nevada fire, EMS and dispatch responders and also trains 911 centers across the US on human trafficking.
