Laura Barnitz was a keynote speaker at the Blue Sky Bridge Conference in 2002, speaking about Human Trafficking in attempt to change attitudes and improve eyesight.

Rather than punish children being prostituted, as Barnitz had witnessed, she advocated for law enforcement to recognize them as victims in need of help to escape. Barnitz also identified others as complicit in the sex slavery of children if they accept advertising money or lodging rent in trade for turning a blind eye.
