History

The conference was until 2017 called Trust Women. Trust Women began in 2012. As a direct result of the 2012 Trust Women Conference, the Thomson Reuters Foundation - along with the Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr - launched a financial working group to fight human trafficking. Members of the group include some of the world’s biggest financial institutions (Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Barclays, TD Bank, American Express, Western Union) along with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Human Trafficking Pro Bono Legal Center, and NGOs working with trafficking victims. In 2014, the financial working group released a white paper aimed at helping the wider industry to identify and report irregularities in financial transactions that might be linked to human trafficking activity.

gollark: Well, yes, it isn't perfect, through broadly speaking I think stuff like people not getting food is more down to people not caring than the structure of society.
gollark: And yet we have a mostly functioning system which produces mostly enough food, and is able to make the mind-breakingly complex supply chains for that food work.
gollark: Pretty much everything we actually produce is in the "not entirely necessary but nice to have" box.
gollark: There is lots of stuff which nobody really *needs* - you can live without it, society could work without it (if we had set stuff up that way) - but it's not very nice to not have it. Like computers, or modern medicine, or non-bare-minimum food and housing.
gollark: Food is, broadly speaking, necessary to live. But while I could probably *survive* on cheaper, less resource-intensive-to-produce food than I do, or less food by caloric content and stuff, I like to have more/better food than is strictly necessary. Same with water - I won't die of dehydration on some small amount per day, but on the whole I'll be worse off if I don't have as much to drink as I want, or enough water for showering and washing stuff.
