[April 20, 2012]
The Zonta Club of Lincoln recently
hosted the spring workshop of Zonta International District 6, Area
3. The meeting was on March 31 in the Alumni Room at the Lincoln
College Student Center. There were 38 attendees from Springfield,
Alton-Wood River, Mascoutah and Lincoln.

The keynote speaker, Lynne Johnson from the Chicago Alliance
Against Sexual Exploitation, spoke on the
End Demand Illinois
campaign, which is a multiyear effort to transform Illinois'
prostitution and trafficking laws to reflect the philosophy that
prostituted and sex-trafficked individuals should not be further
penalized, and should be offered social services in lieu of arrest,
detention and incarceration; whereas resources and tools should be
increased for law enforcement to prosecute traffickers, pimps and
profiteers, while deterring men from buying sex.
