About this Training
As anti-trafficking discourse continues to escalate in both news and social media outlets, many educators struggle to balance the narrative between sensationalized statistics and the requirement of many states to teach trafficking prevention during sexual health. This training will highlight history to sensitively destabilize some of the moral panic aspects of the anti-trafficking conversation while taking a nuanced look at the lived reality of youth in the sex trade. Lastly, this workshop will conclude with concrete resources, toolkits, and victim/survivor-led research so that educators and advocates working with anti-trafficking curricula can confidently address the complexities of this multifaceted issue using a public health approach.

- Define human trafficking
