I wanted to share an invitation with you to attend a private screening of the Holly film, which investigates human trafficking and the exploitation of children in the absence of Rule of Law. LexisNexis is a sponsor of the film and its producers.
It is estimated that one million people, mostly women and children, are trafficked around the world each year, lured into involuntary servitude and sexual slavery. The gross and unjust economic exploitation of vulnerable people is a direct result of an absence of Rule of Law.
Rule of Law – an accessible, independent and transparent legal system – provides a consistent set of laws that everyone, including government, must follow. Without Rule of Law there is no justice, no progress, no social or economic development, and no highly developed moral societies.
As a company that does business throughout the world, LexisNexis is committed to promoting the Rule of Law. We are proud to sponsor the Somaly Mam Foundation’s efforts to combat and raise awareness of this epic problem. A very effective way to raise awareness and promote action is the film “Holly”. Please join us for a private screening of this film on Wednesday, May 14h. Details are provided in the attached invitation. The film will be shown at the Avalon Theatre, 5612 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington DC 20015.
Seating at the theater is limited to a maximum of 150. Please RSVP by email.
The Holly film is being shown at the Avalon theatre in Washington, DC from May 4th through May 16th.
