New FENZA Conference on the 7th September 2013

Our next FENZA Conference will take place on Saturday 7^th September 2013.

Venue: Faith and Encounter Centre (FENZA), Bauleni near Mathia Mulumba Catholic Church or Yatsani Radio.

Time: 14:00 to 17:00 hours

Theme: Slaves! They are still among us!

Slavery or enslavement is not just something of the past! Today, millions of men, women and children are trapped in slavery, around the world, including in Zambia.

Yes! Around us, many of our brothers, sisters and children are victims of modern forms of slavery such as: Human Trafficking, Forced Labour, Child Labour, Early and Forced Marriage.

The victims are innumerable! The facts are shocking! But the good news is: some people are already working with the victims to stop these new forms of slavery.

There is still more to be done to fight and stop modern slavery.

Come and get the facts! Let’s us debate the issues and solutions to this human plight. Come and be part of an antislavery campaign.

“I am a human being and I am no stranger to anything affecting humanity. I am a human being and injustice towards other people makes me heartsick. I am a human being and oppression offends my nature. I am a human being and cruelty towards such a great number of my fellow human beings inspires me with nothing but horror.” (Cardinal Lavigerie, Founder of the Missionaries of Africa)

The panellists are activists and victims of modern slavery. We have also invited several of them to be with us.

Your presence and contribution will help in “breaking the chains”.

We hope to see you on Saturday 7^th September 2013.
