What

Panel Discussion: Human Trafficking PREVENTION

Please join us to discuss the types of human trafficking, the profile of a human trafficker, who is most vulnerable, and how to PREVENT trafficking in our communities.

We will also cover how to identify early indicators of potential trafficking, as well as explore strategies and resources for protecting those at risk and supporting survivors. Let’s work together to create safer environments and safeguard our communities from human trafficking.

Why

PREVENTION – To confront the stark reality of human trafficking and its associated challenges within our local community, our objective is to illuminate, inform, and educate. To look at PREVENTION measures we as a community can take to safeguard the most vulnerable individuals in our midst.

Human Trafficking affects communities everywhere, it is estimated that there are over 27 million victims worldwide and that over $254 billion in profit is generated annually through human trafficking.
