Human Trafficking 101: A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Human Trafficking is an introductory course designed to raise awareness of the problem of human trafficking as the first step to eradication. The course aims to provide the knowledge necessary to define human trafficking and its prevalence.  Risk factors are given to help participants identify and assess victims of human trafficking as well as services available to victims.

This course includes video clips from an interview with a survivor. Please be aware of the sensitive nature of the information shared in the videos and respect the confidentiality of what is shared.

Upon course completion, you will be able to:

  • Define the crime of human trafficking and dispel common myths.
