The event featured the screening of the Australian movie "The Jammed," a social thriller by Dee McLachlan about trafficking and the sex slave trade in Melbourne. The Australian Ambassador to the UN, Robert Hill, moderated the discussion.

Panelists included Elaine Pearson, Research Coordinator for AusAID's Asia Regional Trafficking in Persons Program, Veronic Sywak, who plays the lead role in the movie, and Simone Monasebian, Chief of the UNODC New York Office. Ms. Sywak noted: "Human trafficking is more profitable than drug trafficking. Narcotics, you sell once, a girl, you can sell 500 times." Asked by the audience what individuals can do to fight trafficking, Ms. Sywak responded: "Artists pain the canvas for social change, actors can help raise awareness," while Ms. Monasebian noted: "Ask your politicians what their views on trafficking are." In the same way you can check a can of tuna and verify it is not dolphin, you can "vote with your wallets" when you buy garments, and try to make sure the clothes you buy are not the product of trafficked labor: "it is inconvenient, but effective," she further advised.
