The
Human Face of Trafficking
-October 30, 2010
9:30 A.M.-12:00 P.M.
Human trafficking continues to be one of the worst evils of our
time. This day will offer you the opportunity to learn about
the devastating impact of human trafficking on those victimized by
this destructive practice of forcing a person into unpaid labor
and/or other forms of involuntary servitude. Attending this
workshop will help you to discover how to recognize persons who
may be trafficked since these victims are often hidden in local
neighborhoods and businesses. You will also become
acquainted with the ways you might become involved in helping such
victims, many of whom are women and children, and about the
community resources available to support those who are trafficked.
