Description

Human trafficking persists globally, necessitating widespread awareness and effective responses. This course aims to equip participants with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills to understand, identify, and respond to human trafficking incidents.  Participants will grasp the conceptual framework of human trafficking, including legal definitions and international standards. We will explore the various forms of trafficking, including sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and exploitation in different contexts. Understanding where and how trafficking occurs, including online platforms, illicit establishments, and labor-intensive industries will be reviewed.  This training will examine the dynamics of human trafficking regarding both victims and traffickers. Through interactive presentations, case studies, and role-playing exercises, participants will emerge from this course empowered to contribute to the prevention and intervention efforts against human trafficking in their communities and beyond.
