Mira Sorvino Is the Keynote Speaker for APTA’s TRANSform!

Academy Award-winning actress and #MeToo and human rights advocate Mira Sorvino is the keynote speaker for APTA’s TRANSform, the public transportation industry’s premier conference, Sept. 29-Oct. 2, in Anaheim, CA.

Sorvino first gained worldwide attention for her 1995 Oscar and Golden Globe-winning role in Woody Allen’s Mighty Aphrodite. She followed with an Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Norma Jean and Marilyn and the iconic comedy, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. 

After beginning a three-year stint as spokesperson for Amnesty International’s Stop Violence Against Women campaign, she combined her passion for human rights advocacy with acting, starring in the 2005 Lifetime miniseries Human Trafficking, for which she earned another Golden Globe nomination. The role propelled Sorvino onto the world stage as an advocate for victims of human trafficking and sexual abuse.

In 2009 she was sworn in as UNODC Goodwill Ambassador to Combat Human Trafficking, a position she holds to this day, and was recently made a member of the Board of Trustees of the UN Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking in Persons.
