Understanding Human Trafficking: The Intersections & Complexities

Human trafficking is a widespread and often-invisible crime that takes place both around the world and in our own backyards. It is the act of compelling someone into work or commercial sex acts through force, fraud, or coercion, and though it is illegal everywhere, it happens every day in big cities and small towns across the United States. Whether or not we recognize it, this is an issue we all touch every day through both our professional and personal lives.

Fortunately, as a community, we are positioned to drive a powerful, unified strategy to combat human trafficking together. Metro United Way and United Way Worldwide’s Center to Combat Human Trafficking are proud to present this Live Learning Session – Understanding Human Trafficking: The Intersections & Complexities. The Session will provide an overview of the issue of human trafficking, as well as information on how we can strategically and collectively combat it in our community.

We know that creating communities resilient to human trafficking requires deep engagement and leadership by those with lived experience of it. Therefore, this 90-minute-long virtual event will be co-facilitated by a team of survivor leaders who are experts in the anti-human trafficking movement. The Session will also feature speakers from Metro United Way, who will share a bit about the work they are doing to combat human trafficking locally.
