world of sex trafficking in Southeast Asia, the strikingly different stories
from four women are pieced together to reveal an institution that enslaves as
many as forty million women worldwide. From the backrooms of teashops and restaurants,
to five star hotels, the Far East sex trade thrives on the routine merchandising
of women for the sexual escape and pleasure of men from all cultures. Through
their shocking, video-taped testimonies, Burmese prostitutes initiate Western
audiences to the widespread corruption and staggering poverty that are the
status quo in much of the world, and the primary causes behind the
fastest-growing industry on earth.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Each female in
Anonymously Yours shares her own intensely painful experiences as the commerce
in this human trade. The documentary builds upon each individual account
without introducing the girls’ families—some of which are directly responsible
for selling the women into slavery. The lines between perpetrator and victim
are blurred as audiences begin to relate to all players and understand their
motives rooted in human need. By the end of the film, one can only hope the
outcome will be positive as the reformed prostitutes strive to create new and
better lives for themselves and their families. However, when the cameras stop,
and the girls’ return their appalling realities, it is the audience, made
painfully aware of the women’s tragic lives, that is changed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Q &A with Director

graduate school into the community of computing researchers and professionals
by providing them with a broad range of strategies and role models. Strategies
and mentoring for students in their second and third years of graduate school
will also be provided. In addition, some of the returning students will be
invited to describe their experiences and new insights. All of the students
will meet for two days with 10 to 15 senior computing researchers and
professionals who will share pertinent information on graduate school survival
skills, as well as more personal information and insights about their
experiences. The rewards of a research career will be emphasized. The workshop
will include a mix of formal presentations and informal discussions and social
events. Through this workshop, students will be able to build mentoring
relationships and develop peer networks that will form the basis for ongoing
activities during their graduate careers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Eligibility:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">*Women students in their
