Overview/Description
Human trafficking - the act of exploiting a person through force, fraud or coercion - is a worldwide problem. Due to its complex nature, and the vulnerable populations it targets, it often goes unnoticed. Many of its victims don't even realize they are being exploited, often feeling shame and blaming themselves for their situation, which makes the discovery of this illegal activity very challenging. Being aware of the signs that human trafficking activity could be taking place in your community or place of employment is a starting point for dealing with this criminal act. This course addresses the mandatory training requirements for hospitality employers in California, Connecticut, and Minnesota, but is suitable for raising awareness of human trafficking in any location or workplace.
