Allies Against Slavery: Organized Crime & Human Trafficking: The Story the Data Tells (Webinar)
For more than 25 years, human trafficking has been framed as the work of organized crime. Now, for the first time, the data can speak for itself, and it tells a more nuanced story.
Join Allies Against Slavery on Thursday, October 8 at 10 am CST for Organized Crime & Human Trafficking: The Story the Data Tells, a webinar bringing together the researchers and practitioners behind a new body of work reexamining the relationship between organized crime and human trafficking.
Together, we'll trace a single arc:
What two decades of federal trafficking prosecutions show us about the varying types of organized (and unorganized) trafficking operations.
What happens when the organized crime lens is turned toward a part of the market it's almost never applied to: the buyers driving demand.
What it would mean to build investigations, prosecutions, and policy around this knowledge.
Whether you work in research, law enforcement, prosecution, policy, or survivor services, this conversation will challenge how you think about who and what we're up against, and leave you with evidence-based strategies you can put to work.
