Human Trafficking Awareness

This workshop is designed to equip, inform, and educate the public on the "need to know" of human trafficking. Did you know as a single mother, your child has been placed in the category of targeted human trafficking victims? Did you know that 27 million people are trafficked across the country every year? Did you know Florida ranks # 3 in the highest-trafficked cities? Did you know that Tampa is one of the state's worst metropolitan offenders?

Come and learn how to be a solution and keep it from happening under your nose or in your home.

Takeaways:

*Identify common vulnerabilities that traffickers often target.

*Factors that make certain individuals and communities more vulnerable to human trafficking.

*Identify indicators of human trafficking, including information about trafficker profiles, their recruitment tactics, and their methods for employing force, fraud, or coercion.

*Discuss how to respond to individuals who may have experienced human trafficking in a person-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive manner and how to mitigate implicit bias in any response.
