A Conversation about Trafficking in our Community
The greater Milwaukee area has been tagged repeatedly by the FBI as among the top cities for human sex trafficking in the nation. Yet, we still tend to believe it doesn't happen here. This state of denial leaves our children and families open to victimization. Learn how youth and adults are being coerced into trafficking, why they can't see their way out, how social media plays a big role in luring, grooming, and the grand scheme of trafficking, and how e can keep our families safe.
Bring your questions. There will be a question and answer period following the presentations.
