THURSDAY, MARCH 16 - READING: 'BIG MISTER, LITTLE MISTER, BABY SISTER' @ IBOOKS, 7pm

On March 16th Internationalist Books will welcome first-time author, and mother of four, Renee Piccirillo as she reads from her books 'Big Mister, Little Mister, Baby Sister.' Finally a book about nursing and a nursing mom. As a mother, Piccirillo got tired of never having a children's book at home that demonstrated to her older children a nursing family like the one they knew. For mothers with older children and a new baby, this book helps explain why mothers nurse. 'Big Mister' also celebrates children's individuality, showing how great it is to do things just the way you do them no matter how different it is from others. We hope to see you, and your little ones, there!

APRIL 7 & 8 - CAROLINA WOMEN'S CENTER CONFERENCE -- SEXUAL TRAFFICKING: BREAKING THE CRISIS OF SILENCE

The Carolina Women's Center is hosting a conference on the sexual trafficking of women and children titled Sexual Trafficking: Breaking the Crisis of Silence. The conference takes place April 7 & 8 at the Radisson Hotel in RTP. For more information got to http:// womenscenter.unc.edu/trafficking/.

It is estimated that 600,000-800,000 people are trafficked each year. Approximately 80 percent are women and girls, and up to 50 percent are minors. In America, tens of thousands of foreign and native women and children are sexually exploited every day.

This international conference on sexual trafficking, hosted by the Carolina Women's Center and its partners, continues the fight against commercial sexual exploitation of young women and children by raising public awareness to the human rights violations caused by trafficking, including its mental and physical effects on its victims. Join your voice to the call for justice and dignity in North Carolina and worldwide. Help stop trafficking.

***STUDENT POSTER CONTEST***
Prize money of $500, $300, or $200 if your poster is selected in a *Student Poster Contest* sponsored by the Carolina Women's Center for a conference on the sexual trafficking of women and children. Each year 900,000 women and children are trafficked worldwide. It is estimated that 50,000 are trafficked annually to the US as sex workers. There is a lack of understanding among the general public that trafficking is a pervasive and difficult problem. The purpose of this poster is to show in graphic design that modern-day slavery does exist and that it can be stopped. Your challenge is to show this picture with a clear message and in a tasteful manner that is suitable for public viewing.

*There are stringent guidelines for entering this contest.* For further entry details and before creating your poster, contact Roi Holladay at roiholladay at yahoo.com or 919/969.2646.
