By Brandi Palmer<\/p>\n

In 2007,\u00a0the U.S. Senate designated Jan.\u00a011 as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the hopes of raising awareness to combat human trafficking.<\/p>\n

Jessica Falkner J.D. ’14 is working as a legal fellow with the International Justice Mission in Kampala, Uganda, Africa, to help victims of the growing epidemic of land grabbing\u00a0and other gender based crimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cLand grabbing occurs in developing areas when a husband or father dies and people within the community force the widow and children off their land,\u201d Falkner explained.<\/p>\n

The family members of the deceased, typically women and children, are often forced violently off their land and into homelessness, falling prey to exploitation and poverty which hurts communities and hinders economic development.<\/p>\n

\u201cViolence against the poor, whether it has arisen in a post-conflict vacuum or is more commonly the result of everyday violence, is the ultimate exploitation of vulnerability,\u201d said Falkner.<\/p>\n

Falkner explained that\u00a0with\u00a0two billion people living\u00a0on two dollars a day\u00a0and\u00a0115 million widows living\u00a0in extreme poverty with a half billion children depending on them,\u00a0there is a responsibility\u00a0that comes with knowing the prevalence of violence against the poor.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can\u2019t protect the most vulnerable among us, both domestically and in an increasingly shrinking global community, we pay the irreparable consequences of indifference,\u201c said Falkner.<\/p>\n

The Elon University undergraduate came to law school at Stetson with a desire to pursue public interest law with an international focus. She was compelled to work on global issues related to poverty.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>At Stetson, Falkner found the strong international programs, quality of the faculty, and collaborative environment appealing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew Stetson was the right choice. It was a natural fit for me,\u201d said Falkner.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to study public interest law in an international context through study abroad in Argentina and the Cayman Islands,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Looking back at her law school years, Falkner said she focused on\u00a0the experiential education law school had to offer. In law school at Stetson, Falkner participated in a homeless advocacy internship through Equal Justice Works and legal aid pro bono work through Gulfcoast Legal Services that reinforced her interest in social justice. She took courses in public interest, human trafficking, international law and civil rights.<\/p>\n

While at Stetson, Falkner was a student representative to the Tampa Bay Foreign Relations Committee. She spoke at the Immigration and Human Rights Symposium at Elon College of Law on the impact of a new family code in Morocco on women\u2019s rights in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

As a first-year law student at Stetson, Falkner lost her mother. It was\u00a0at the reception following the her mother’s memorial\u00a0that a family friend mentioned the International Justice Mission to Falkner\u00a0for the first time.<\/p>\n

After graduating with her law degree from Stetson, Falkner reached a crossroads where she was considering a traditional legal path or a different path more aligned with her interests in public service. She explained that she was volunteering, working with the International Federation of Human Rights, Pisgah Legal Services, and Mana Food Bank where she helped with legal translation, domestic violence intake and fundraising. She recalled the conversation years prior about the International Justice Mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter learning more about the organization, I fell in love,\u201d Falkner explained.<\/p>\n

A former prosecutor for the Department of Justice, Gary Haugen, was moved to found the International Justice Mission after working as the officer in charge of the UN Tribunal on Rwanda investigations.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe went on to form the organization with the mission of attacking everyday violence in the developing world,\u201d Falkner explained.<\/p>\n

The International Justice Mission is an organization with the goal of advocating and providing services for those who have been enslaved, imprisoned, beaten, sexually assaulted or deprived of their land.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to carry out this goal, it is important to understand that four-billion people live outside the protection of the law,\u201d Falkner said.<\/p>\n

The International Justice Mission addresses everyday violence by rebuilding the rule of law in areas where it has been destroyed and replaced by the privatization of the law by security companies and alternative dispute resolution systems that exclude the poor, Falkner said.<\/p>\n

Falkner interviewed for a competitive Field Office Legal Fellowship with the International Justice Mission that has ultimately taken her to Uganda.\u00a0As a legal fellow, she is carrying out the preliminary intake for a case involving the assault of more than 100 displaced orphans from a local orphanage.\u00a0This has included writing the Potential Offenses Memo describing why the legal department should take on the orphans\u2019 case and what investigators need to focus on in their preliminary investigation.\u00a0Additionally, Falkner researched Ugandan corporate law to decide if the International Justice Mission can represent an indigent orphanage and legally take on the case.\u00a0Among other duties, she also\u00a0interviews victims and\u00a0local community leaders for impact statements for sentencing recommendations sent to the courts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that there is a lot to be done, and I am excited to see how my work unfolds during my time here in Uganda,\u201d said Falkner.<\/p>\n

No stranger to field work in foreign countries, as a young adult, Falkner was a rural community health volunteer with the Peace Corps stationed in southern Morocco for two years, where she worked in a small village a few hours north of the Western Sahara. She was an elected representative to the Peace Corps Morocco HIV\/AIDS committee, where she developed curriculum and trained volunteers. She also helped improve health in the village by working with local leaders to tackle the need for a new sanitation system.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe improved the existing system of a cart and donkey that collected trash occasionally through a grant process. The grant led to a more sophisticated system with a garbage truck, trashcans, and a landfill,\u201d said Falkner. \u201cThe village pledged to pay for the sanitation workers\u2019 salary and uniforms, and with the help of the grant money we were able to pull together the resources and training needed to create a modern sanitation system for the village\u2019s garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Falkner\u2019s interest in social justice began early.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up, compassion was a big part of my upbringing, \u201c said Falkner.<\/p>\n

In high school, she explained that she volunteered with an organization called Wheeler Mission that provided the foundation for her interest in service work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough these experiences and some time spent in underdeveloped areas, my heart for social justice began to really grow,\u201d said Falkner. \u201cThis growing passion is also why I wanted to go to law school.\u00a0 I saw the law as a solution to some of the issues clogging social justice.\u201d<\/p>\n
