Reverend Katharine Henderson

Senior Advisor, Interfaith Alliance; President Emerita, Auburn Seminary

Reverend Dr. Katharine Rhodes Henderson is an internationally known religious leader whose work advances the multi-faith movement for justice.  She is Senior Advisor at Interfaith Alliance and President Emerita of Auburn Seminary, where she served as President for twelve years.  At Auburn, she collaborated with leaders from the White House and civil society to identify new tactics for preventing and ending trafficking, empowering and supporting survivors, and creating demand for a moral economy free of slave-made goods.  Her anti-trafficking work included mobilizing religious leaders and petitioners against online exploitation.

“No single group or religious tradition alone can end human trafficking.  Stopping this scourge will take leaders of faith and moral courage working together to protect the most vulnerable among us.”
