Arianne Kourosh

Uh, as a reminder, today's webinar is on the record, and CFR takes no institutional positions on matters of policy.

We're delighted to have Diana Gerson, Shadi Kourosh, and Mary Leary here with us to discuss cross ef- sector efforts to combat human trafficking, and Rachel Vogelstein will moderate today's discussion with them.

She is an Associate Professor of Professional Practice and Director of the Institute of Global Politics Women's Initiative at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.

Most recently, she served in the Biden administration as Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of the White House Gender Policy Council and as Special Advisor on Gender at the White House National Security Council.

First, we are thrilled to be joined by Mary Graw Leary, a professor of law at Catholic University.

Professor Leary focuses on the exploitation and abuse of women, children, and the marginalized, and she is a recognized expert in human trafficking.

We are also very pleased to welcome Shadi Kourosh, an associate professor in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard School of Public Health.

Professor Kourosh is also the founder and director of the Radiance Clinic, a pro bono tattoo removal program to assist those escaping gangs and human trafficking, which has won national awards for its impact.
