The Rotary Club of Tallahassee – Protecting Youth from Human Trafficking
January 6, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Date: Wednesday, January 6, 2021, 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Location: Online via Zoom
Description: “Operation Innocence,” a coordinated local, state and federal sting operation, here in Tallahassee resulted in the arrest of over 170 people in a child sex trafficking network. We know that traffickers target children online and since the advent of COVID-19, these youth are even more vulnerable to being both sex and labor trafficked. What can we do to make sure that youth are protected from being trafficked, especially online? What else do we need to know and take action to collaborate to stop human trafficking? This lunch presentation will address these issues and more. Presenters: Marina Anderson, Florida Department of Children and Families Regional Human Trafficking Coordinator for NE and NW Regions and Robin Hassler Thompson, Exec. Dir., The Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC).
Sponsor and Host: The Rotary Club of Tallahassee
