This presentation will provide a basic overview of human trafficking, focusing on both domestic and foreign trafficking as well as labor and sex trafficking. Topics will include the definition of human trafficking, how traffickers recruit, indicators for victim identification, the impact of social media, and how individuals can make a difference in helping to combat and end human trafficking. Using the most current research and resources, the presentation is designed not only to educate but empower and activate the participant. Human Trafficking 101 is for people who are just learning about human trafficking and for people who would like to see the latest information available. Communities that are involved become the single most powerful tool we have to reduce and ultimately prevent human trafficking. The first step is to create a solid foundation of knowledge and awareness and how we can all be part of the solution.
