Social entrepreneur and Ashoka Fellow Fabrice Hégron discusses his nonprofit, En Direct Des Eleveurs, at an event hosted by Ashoka’s team in France. His organization is revolutionizing the dairy industry in France by developing small-scale farming alternatives. Through new modes of production and distribution that respect the environment and offer healthy milk, he positions dairy producers as wellness partners and reconnects them with consumers. This creates a viable subsidy-free economic model to maintain a collapsing industry.

Each year, the Survivor Solidarity Ride brings awareness to the reality that child trafficking is happening in every state in the nation. This ride highlights locations where survivors have indicated they were trafficked and where there have been reports of child exploitation. In doing so, it symbolizes ECPAT-USA’s solidarity with the brave men and women in its Survivors’ Council and celebrates their leadership in ECPAT-USA’s prevention programming. In 2020, ECPAT-USA rode through New York City. In 2021, as celebration of the launch of Brentwood School District Prevention Services Program, ECPAT-USA rode through Suffolk County, New York.
