This presentation will give a brief introduction to human trafficking to understand what it is, where it is happening, who is involved, and what other systems and structures support and drive this global crime. It will also provide ideas for how ordinary people can join the fight to prevent human trafficking, recognize and report suspected cases, and support survivors on their healing journey.
