"Peeling Back the Layers of Human Trafficking from Uncertainty to Trust”
Date: September 15, 2023
Time: 7:30AM - 1:00PM
Location: Cumberland Wood Conference Center | 700 Cumberland Woods Drive | Allison Park, PA 15101
Keynote Speaker: Shea Rhodes, Esq. Director of The Villanova Law Institute to Address Commercial Sexual Exploitation
Program Overview: Human trafficking is most likely one of the highest underreported crimes. This crime against humanity happens in every country around the world. Recognizing the victims can be challenging, but then what is next? Many times, professionals do not understand how to respond or where to refer potential or actual victims of Human Trafficking. These are the missing layers that prevent a safe exit process for victims. This program is designed to uncover those layers and walk the participant through barriers to resources via experts and a survivor telling her story. The survivor ’s voice and the recommendations of the experts will help the participants in this program recognize, respond, refer, and report to ensure that victims will be able to journey from uncertainty to trust.
Continuing Education Credits will be offered, and more information can be found on the registration site!
