MINH DANG is currently an independent consultant, trainer, and speaker on issues of human trafficking, leadership development, and social justice. She provides training and technical assistance to NGOs, Universities, and government agencies across the country. Minh is a staunch advocate for survivors of child abuse and human trafficking and is developing strategies to support education, training, and leadership development for survivors. Minh recently wrote the foreword in the Survivors of Slavery. The foreword can be found HERE. Survivors of Slavery is available for purchase now. All proceeds benefit CAST LA and FREE THE SLAVES.
Most recently, Minh was the Executive Director for Don’t Sell Bodies (DSB), an anti-human trafficking initiative founded by Jada Pinkett Smith. With DSB, Minh helped launch the U.S. Senate Caucus to End Human Trafficking with Senators Rob Portman and Richard Blumenthal. In May 2013, Minh was one of fifteen Asian American/Pacific Islander women recognized at the White House as a Champion of Change for her efforts to end human trafficking.
Minh is a ten-year veteran of the service-learning field and is currently finishing her Masters in Social Welfare at UC Berkeley. Prior to graduate school, Minh coordinated the Bonner Leaders AmeriCorps Program at the UC Berkeley Public Service Center. She has served on the Board of Directors for Youth Engagement Advocacy Housing (YEAH) and The Norma J. Morris Center for Healing. Minh also co-led weekly Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (ASCA) support groups for six years.
Minh is passionate about promoting the integration of individual and community healing. A true “love warrior,” as her friend calls her, Minh has traveled extensively telling her harrowing story of survival from child abuse and sexual slavery in the United States. Minh’s story first reached the public domain in 2010 when MSNBC aired the ground-breaking documentary Sex Slaves in America. The report aired just three years after Minh’s daring escape and since that time she has courageously addressed tens of thousands of concerned citizens to help prevent modern-day slavery in the United States.
The California Alumni Association is honoring Minh in March 2014 with the Mark Bingham Award for Excellence in Achievement by a Young Alumna. The Dang Fellowship for Human Rights was created at the UC Berkeley Public Service Center to honor her life’s work, and to build and sustain anti-trafficking efforts at colleges and universities.
