Day 1: The Scope of Human Trafficking and Our Community’s Response

Join us for expert-led panels and guest speakers discussing the many facets of human trafficking—from sex and labor exploitation to the role of religion and cults. Experts from the US, UK, Sweden, and beyond will share diverse perspectives, including how the war in Ukraine has fueled a rise in trafficking cases.

Discussions will cover:

• Investigation and prosecution of trafficking cases
• Healthcare responses and victim support
• Legal aid, housing, and resources for survivors
