Human Trafficking Awareness for Public Health Providers

Overview:

This is a 2-hour recording of a live webcast.

Human trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings, through abduction, the use of threat of force, deception, fraud, or sale for the purposes of sexual exploitation or forced labor. Every year, thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries and abroad. Almost every country in the world is affected by trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims. This program will provide a firsthand account from a sex-trafficking victim of her experiences, along with how she survived and reclaimed her life. Program faculty will discuss what the human trafficking”red flags” are to look for, what questions to ask, how to ask those questions and what verbal and non-verbal clues they should look for.
