SUMMARY:Human trafficking intersections & complexities
DESCRIPTION:It’s lurking closer to you than you think. Learn why and become aware. \nThe stark realities of trafficking encompass the harrowing experiences of humans who are coerced\, deceived\, or forced into labor or sexual exploitation. These victims endure physical and psychological trauma\, often trapped in situations of vulnerability and abuse. The scale and sophistication of trafficking networks\, coupled with deep widespread societal misconceptions\, contribute to its persistence. Our speaker will shed light on the stark realities of human trafficking and how we are touched by it. We all bear responsibility in shaping a world free from exploitation. \nSpeaker:  Jess Torres\, a Survivor Leader and Human Trafficking expert\, spearheads one of the pioneering prevention programs in the nation to be created and led by survivors of trafficking.
