January was Human Trafficking Awareness month.  Our club, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Calabasas and the Rotary Club of Greater Van Nuys, held a workshop to raise awareness of human trafficking and the dangers of social media and the internet, social media and the internet, where 85% of the young girls who are trafficked are first approached.  The event emcee was former city councilman and Honorary Woodland Hills Mayor Dennis Zine, and speakers included members of LAPD, the Department of Children and Family Services and the Department of Homeland Security as well a former victim of trafficking who told her own story of how she got trafficked.  This was our club's first event of its kind and the first for our district since 2017 and we hope to make it an annual event.
