Human Trafficking and Florida’s Schools
2024-03-15 13:00 - 14:30
Schools are one of the most important places to highlight the issue of human trafficking – and everyone at our schools has a role in preventing as well as recognizing and responding to both sex and labor trafficking. The FSU College of Law’s Human Trafficking Exploitation Law Project (HELP) and the Children’s Advocacy Clinic has been at the forefront of advocating for survivors of human trafficking and for integrating human trafficking into Florida schools for many years. During this program, FSU law students will present on the Florida law requiring human trafficking prevention education for grades K-12.

They will report on their analysis of the 67+ school districts’ annual implementation plans and shine a light on the salient features and promising practices of the impressive school districts. Presenters also will provide a national perspective on how other states are addressing human trafficking prevention in public schools. Included will be information that public educators from different grade levels around Florida have shared as they reflected on their own experience and best practices.
This is a program for everyone including students and educators – and anyone who cares about the safety of our youth, educators, and our community – and how we can all take action to improve.

How to Talk with Youth about Human Trafficking & Exploitation
2024-06-05 15:00 - 16:30
Today’s educators are in a unique position to reach youth who may be vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. They see youth every day in their schools, learn about their lives, and can be safe spaces for students who need help. Youth survivors of trafficking and exploitation have specialized needs and experiences, and the adults who work with them need to be trauma-informed and tuned-in to recognize when something is wrong in students’ lives and how to talk with them about it.
This webinar will highlight best practices and resources for K-12 educators on just that: how to talk with youth about human trafficking and exploitation. We will have brief presentations featuring specifically designed resources including graphic novels for youth from the Office for Victims of Crime, and a guide for youth practitioners from the Blue Campaign. We will also have a panel discussion with two educators working with youth in high schools in Chicago and rural Missouri as well as two youth speakers who are actively involved in using the arts in anti-trafficking outreach efforts. The webinar will conclude with an audience Q&A.

Unveiling Modern Trends in Human Trafficking: From Social Media Grooming to Exploiting Vulnerabilities
2024-06-21 13:00 - 14:30
The Florida Department of Children and Families has seen a massive surge in the number of cases involving youth and adults being threatened and coerced into sending explicit images online or via social media apps. Evolving trends show that human traffickers are adapting to new technologies and tactics. One trend is using social media for grooming and recruiting victims, making it crucial to educate everyone about online safety.
Download slide presentation
Another concerning trend is traffickers exploiting vulnerabilities such as substance abuse, mental health issues, and economic hardships to coerce individuals into trafficking situations. Traffickers often use substance addiction to exploit individuals into labor and sex trafficking. It’s essential to address these trends through prevention, awareness and support for victims and vulnerable populations.
Marina Anderson
During this webinar, attendees will learn about the latest tactics and methods used by traffickers, including how they leverage social media, exploit vulnerabilities such as substance abuse and mental health issues and use new technologies for victim recruitment and control.

Navigating Tax Controversies Affecting Human Trafficking Survivors
2024-07-18 12:00 - 13:30
While often overlooked, resolving tax controversies is a critical step for survivors of human trafficking seeking economic stabilization.

Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service (MVLS) and the Human Trafficking Prevention Project (HTPP) are excited to welcome Azarvand Tax Law and John Hardt, Director of the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic at MVLS, to discuss how tax issues may impact human trafficking survivors and outline best practices for tax attorneys and professionals working on such cases in Maryland.

Human Trafficking and Exploitation by Illegal Street Gangs
2024-07-19 13:00 - 14:30
The Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC) Third Friday Training Webinar Series is dedicated to educating everyone about the critical issue of human trafficking. This interactive series aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the various facets of human trafficking, from its root causes and methods of operation to the profound impact it has on survivors, their families, workplaces, and society both in our home towns and worldwide.

Description:
In this free webinar, Amy Hutsell and Victor Williams will discuss the trend of organized street gangs profiting from the sex and labor trafficking of minors and adults. As gang investigators focus on drugs, guns, and homicides, illegal street gangs are often able to keep their sex trafficking activity under the radar. This session will include research into the prevalence of gang-involved sex trafficking, pathways to victimization, recruitment techniques, and a look at society’s demand for commercial sex. In Georgia, there is a focused effort to address this intersection. Presenters will highlight the anti-gang/anti-human trafficking priorities of the State and the strategic focus to combat the illegal activity. Relying on a victim-centered and trauma-informed approach, presenters will discuss the work of the Georgia Coalition to Combat Human Trafficking, the data-driven and pro-active approach to human trafficking investigations, and the emphasis on strong resources available to victims.

This interactive series aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the various facets of human trafficking, from its root causes and methods of operation to the profound impact it has on survivors, their families, workplaces, and society both in our home towns and worldwide.
Webinar Overview:
Accurate and complete data collection has been a challenge facing our state, especially those working in human trafficking services, policy, advocacy, justice and social services systems and many more. Recently Florida has taken steps to address this need through work at the University of South Florida. Presenters from the USF will introduce and highlight the Trafficking in Persons Lab and two of the main projects housed within the lab: the Statewide Repository for Anonymous Human Trafficking Data (TIPSTR) and the BRIGHT Project. TIPSTR will provide Florida with a comprehensive and accurate picture of human trafficking incidents, hotspots, and trends. BRIGHT, a digital, vetted resource referral network will connect providers to one another while simultaneously providing and collecting information on resource availability and resource needs statewide. Taken together, these initiatives will allow for an understanding of the true scope of trafficking in Florida to inform anti-trafficking efforts across the state.

Economic Empowerment and Financial Management for Human Trafficking Survivors
2024-09-20 13:00 - 14:30
The Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC) Third Friday Training Webinar Series is dedicated to educating everyone about the critical issue of human trafficking. This interactive series aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the various facets of human trafficking, from its root causes and methods of operation to the profound impact it has on survivors, their families, workplaces, and society both in our home towns and worldwide.
Many human trafficking survivors face significant financial exploitation, leading to damaged credit, mistrust in financial institutions, and re-traumatization. Traffickers force them to open credit cards and other bank accounts in their names, steal their identities, force them to commit crimes, and destroy their credit. This can make it hard for a survivor to find a good job, a safe place to live, and move forward in their life. This program will provide survivors and those who are working with them the knowledge and tools to regain financial stability and independence.
Presenters will discuss:

Rebuilding Credit: Utilize the Debt Bondage Repair Act to effectively block negative items that resulted from trafficking on the survivors’ credit reports to improve credit scores.
Access Vital Resources: Identify key resources and initiatives, such as the Survivor Inclusion Initiative, that support financial inclusion.
Further Discussion on Rebuilding and Maintaining credit: Understand the steps to build and maintain good credit and savings.
Budget Effectively: Creating a budget and managing monthly expenses.
Utilize Benefits: Take advantage of available benefits from employers or other programs.

CP allows trafficking victims to lawfully remain in the U.S. temporarily and work during the investigation into the human trafficking-related crimes committed against them and during any civil action under 18 U.S.C. § 1595 filed by the victims against their traffickers. This discussion will focus on who is eligible to receive and request Continued Presence, how to contact to support a Continued Presence application, the victim-centered approach, and Continued Presence in support of a civil action.

Race for Prevention: Human Trafficking Awareness Virtual Race (Jan 1-31)
2025-01-01 - 2025-01-31
The International Rescue Committee in Florida is hosting its 3rd Annual Race for Prevention!
What is Human Trafficking? Human trafficking is a crime where individuals are exploited for forced labor, services, or commercial sex. It involves using force, fraud, or coercion to control victims, either for sex or labor. Victims may be subjected to conditions like involuntary servitude, debt bondage, or slavery, and it can affect both adults and minors.
How does the IRC in Florida help? Since 2003, the IRC in Florida has provided comprehensive services to survivors of labor and sex trafficking in South Florida and Big Bend regions. A team of caseworkers provide high quality services to address the individualized needs provided to all trafficking survivors; collaborate with local partners, including law enforcement, to ensure a coordinated community response to survivors of human trafficking, including through training and community awareness building; and assist with or refer human trafficking survivors to other essential services. To date, we have served approximately 950+ survivors.
What is the Race? The Race for Prevention is a virtual race where your physical activity contributes to raising awareness and support for the IRC in Florida’s mission to combat human trafficking. Track your miles or time through RunSignUp as you exercise in any way you prefer—walk, run, bike, swim, roll (skates, wheelchair, handcycle, etc.), or more! Every step you take is a step toward prevention. Unlike traditional races, a virtual race allows you to track your activity from anywhere, at your own pace, throughout the month. You’re not limited by location or time, and you can move in a way that works for you. Plus, as you log your miles, you’ll see your progress in real-time!
