2013 Christian Service Award - Theresa Flores
Christian Service Award 2013- Theresa Flores
The University of Dayton Christian Service Award is presented to alumni whose life's work best reflects the unique quality of service and sacrifice to others, consistent with the Marianist identity of the University of Dayton. As a teenager, Theresa Flores was made a slave — first raped, then threatened with her life and her reputation if she failed to comply with the demands of the sex traffickers who oppressed her. Today, she is a vocal advocate for victims of human trafficking, educating others about this modern-day slavery and bringing about legislation and grassroots action to stop it.
