Recognizing and Responding to Suspected Human Trafficking

Overview:

This is a 90-minute recording of a webinar.  This webinar is co-sponsored by the Injury Prevention Center at Emory.

In this presentation we’ll discuss the nature and dynamics of sex and labor trafficking, and the health impact on adults and children. We’ll review possible indicators of trafficking that may be present under varied conditions, and discuss screening tools that may be helpful in identifying persons at risk of exploitation. We’ll talk about the trauma-informed, rights-based approach to interacting with trafficked persons, and review resources available to those in need. Finally, we’ll discuss how the COVID pandemic is expected to impact the dynamics of human trafficking, and exacerbate existing risk factors for exploitation.
