SUMMARY:Human Trafficking and the Law: Labor Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, January 27\, 2022\, 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. \nDescription: Labor trafficking – also called “forced labor” is far more common that people think\, here in North Florida and around the nation. Both the civil and criminal sides of the justice system – and our entire community – are vitally important to recognizing this reality\, preventing forced labor\, and fully supporting survivors. This includes active civil litigation against traffickers and taking action in the courts to ban goods coming into the U.S. from “supply chains” of forced labor. Each of us\, as consumers\, can also help by buying and supporting trafficking free goods and services. \nFeatured Speakers:  \nMartina Vandenberg\, JD – founder and president of the Human Trafficking Legal Center \nMartina E.

Vandenberg established the Human Trafficking Legal Center (formerly HT Pro Bono) in 2012 with generous support from the Open Society Foundations (OSF) Fellowship Program. \nPrior to becoming an OSF Fellow\, Vandenberg served as a partner at Jenner & Block LLP\, where she focused on complex commercial litigation and internal investigations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

While living in the Russian Federation in the 1990s\, she co-founded Syostri\, one of Russia’s first rape crisis centers for women. \nVandenberg has received multiple awards for her leadership against human trafficking. In 2012\, the Freedom Network USA presented her with the Paul and Sheila Wellstone Award for her “outstanding leadership and dedication in working to combat human trafficking and slavery in the United States.” In 2013\, she received the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation’s Stevens Award for outstanding service in public interest law. T’ruah presented her with the Raphael Lemkin Human Rights Award in 2014.
