Amaya is the author of \u201cNobody\u2019s Girl: A Memoir of Lost\u00a0Innocence, Modern Day Slavery and Transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the age of 12, Amaya ran away from her rural home and was quickly\u00a0kidnapped and trafficked, first in Washington, D.C., and then on the streets of New\u00a0York. Her horrible circumstances lasted for over a decade. Amaya is a sex\u00a0trade survivor and advocate. Her message of hope and overcoming adversity is an\u00a0important message for all audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Amaya\u2019s appearance at the library is made possible through the\u00a0Madison County Youth Bureau and <!--more-->Catholic Charities of Oneida\/Madison Counties.<\/p>\n<p>She will be in the area to present at a workshop for professionals dealing with human\u00a0trafficking, including law enforcement, health and human service providers, social\u00a0workers, and medical professionals. Children who are exploited and forced to live as\u00a0migrant workers, domestic servants or prostitutes are victims of human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>There are safe housing, health, immigration, food, income, employment, legal and\u00a0interpretive services available to child victims in our county. For help in identifying\u00a0victims of trafficking and for more information about human trafficking, visit\u00a0www.acf.hhs.gov\/trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation at the library will be held on the second floor and is free to\u00a0the public. Amaya\u2019s book will be available for purchase at the event. The cost is\u00a0$19.95.<\/p>\n<p>The Canastota Public Library is a meeting place, a place of community pride\u00a0and service. The Library has been providing services since 1896.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m., Barbara Amaya will speak at the\u00a0Canastota Public Library.
