Description: January is anti-human trafficking awareness month, and the Women’s Center is excited to present a panel on one of the most pressing topics in the human trafficking field—forced labor. With human trafficking consistently in the headlines and at the forefront of political discourse, discussions around labor trafficking are necessary. The U.S. The Department of State estimates that 73% of human trafficking victims in 2022 experienced forced labor. Forced labor occurs in a variety of spaces from farms to factories to private homes. Speakers will include people who work at every step, survivors, community, state, and legal. Join us to learn from the people working on the front lines of labor trafficking.
