On May 17th, St. Irenaeus’ Health Ministry, Bridge of Light: Human Trafficking to Human Triumph Ministry, and Youth Ministry sponsored the workshop, “Taking Action to Prevent Online Child Sexual Exploitation.” This workshop was presented by CBIS (Christian Brothers Investment Services). St. Irenaeus Pastor, Fr. Binh Nguyen, began with a prayer.
Health Ministry Facilitator, Monica Kovach, introduced Julie Tanner, CBIS Managing Director, and Chele Mitchell, CBIS Managing Director, Investor and Consultant Relations, the principal speakers. How can an investment services company protect kids from online sexual exploitation? CBIS contacts tech and telecom companies to ask about their efforts to protect children from exploitation and discuss how to strengthen their efforts. CBIS represents investors in “content oversight talks” with tech and telecom companies. CBIS also informs consumers about how their marketplace choices can reflect Catholic values.
