Labor Trafficking and Forced Criminality: Understanding the Scope, Trends and Response
2026-08-21 13:00 - 14:30
This session will provide an introduction to Framework, a national technical assistance provider whose aim is to increase the capacity of social services providers and other community-based organizations to identify and provide transformative services to survivors of labor trafficking and to help them to garner resources and build partnerships necessary to increase identification, services, and healing. Presenters will also provide an overview of labor trafficking in the US, a look into forced criminality of children and adults, information about the services and remedies available to survivors, and additional resources to explore.

About the Presenters:

She has over 10 years of experience working with anti-trafficking, refugee and unaccompanied children programming as a caseworker and various leadership roles.

The Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC) Third Friday Webinar Series Program is dedicated to educating everyone about the critical issue of human trafficking.
