This program will examine best practices in combating trafficking in persons, focusing on both forced labor and commercial sex trafficking. Participants will examine U.S. legislation, visa regulations, and enforcement actions against and prosecution of traffickers; initiatives to identify, protect, assist, and provide services for trafficking victims; and local, national, and international cooperative efforts to combat trafficking in persons. Participants will discuss strategies to end trafficking, both domestically and internationally, with local, state, and federal government agencies, law enforcement officials, educators, NGO leaders, faith-based organizations, and advocacy groups.
