Maria Escobar 男女操逼视频软件22 is a women男女操逼视频软件檚 and gender studies and psychology double major with a minor in peace and justice studies. If that sounds like a lot, it is! But Maria is dedicated to the causes she has always felt passionate about. 男女操逼视频软件淓ver since I was young, I have felt a strong responsibility towards ensuring justice, especially in terms of gender equality,男女操逼视频软件 she told us. And it would seem she made the right call to take on so many different subjects. 男女操逼视频软件淭hree years later, I can say that every course I take for my major reaffirms the fact that I made the right decision.男女操逼视频软件
Initially, there were several colleges that Maria was considering. But it was a visit to the campus on accepted students day as an early decision applicant that really solidified her choice. 男女操逼视频软件淚 had this feeling that Pace was the right college for me,男女操逼视频软件 she said, noting that the location in particular had a lot to do with her decision, too. 男女操逼视频软件淚f you take advantage of this, you can make so many connections for your future career and land internships as early as your freshman year.男女操逼视频软件
She landed her own internship during her sophomore year with Sanctuary for Families, which is a leading nonprofit service provider for survivors of sex trafficking, domestic violence, and gender-based violence in New York. 男女操逼视频软件淭he main aspect of my internship revolved around doing research on the Nordic Model, a legal framework to partially decriminalize prostitution. I had never heard of it before and it remains one of the lesser known frameworks despite being adopted in seven countries around the world,男女操逼视频软件 Maria explained. 男女操逼视频软件淸It was] my dream internship. It inspired me to pursue a career in law working with survivors of gender-based violence.男女操逼视频软件
Maria男女操逼视频软件檚 interest and potential in this area was definitely noticed. Her manager from Sanctuary For Families suggested she attend the World Without Exploitation annual youth summit, which took place over the summer. 男女操逼视频软件淸It男女操逼视频软件檚 a] two-day event that focused on educating youth on commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking,男女操逼视频软件 Maria explained.
Along with ten of her cohorts, she went on to help form the World Without Exploitation National Youth Coalition, a network of young people who are dedicated to ending exploitation through advocacy, awareness, and education. Their mission statement is a powerful one, and admirable from passionate students:
男女操逼视频软件淭he fight to create a world where no one is bought, sold, or exploited is a fight for the future男女操逼视频软件攁nd creating an exploitation-free future is what the is all about. Our new, national, youth-led network男女操逼视频软件攎ade up of young people, ages 15 to 28男女操逼视频软件攊s using advocacy, educational, and awareness raising initiatives to create change while supporting a culture of inclusion and diversity.

男女操逼视频软件淚 am very proud of this venture and [I男女操逼视频软件檓] so happy I am part of its development as its director of social media,男女操逼视频软件 she went on to explain. Check out Maria男女操逼视频软件檚 work !
