Child Labor Trafficking in the U.S. (PowerPoint) 

Description

Judges can be the first line of defense in identifying human trafficking cases, yet the complexities of these cases can make them difficult to detect. While there have been strides made to strengthen responses to child sex trafficking, child labor trafficking cases often remain hidden, or are challenging to distinguish from other civil and criminal violations. This webinar provides judges, court staff, attorneys, victim advocates, and other professionals with critical insights, cutting edge research, recent case law, and policy developments to help identify trafficking indicators among minors. Participants learn practical strategies to ensure that affected children receive appropriate protections.

While opportunities for action and strategies will be focused for judges, court staff, victim’s attorneys and advocates, the content is applicable to many other stakeholders, including government, nongovernment, health, community, and first responder professionals.
