Webinar: Dispelling Myths and Promoting an Accurate Understanding of Sex Trafficking
The Man in the White Van: Dispelling Myths and Promoting an Accurate Understanding of Sex Trafficking
Trainer: Maddie Walker
Time: January 7th 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Webinar Description
Sex trafficking has received increased attention in recent years. News stories about sex trafficking are abundant during our favorite events and our social media feeds are flooded with warnings about traffickers stalking local grocery stores.
The realization that sex trafficking occurs in many communities throughout the United States has inspired fear and advanced a false narrative about the crime. Sex trafficking is a complex issue that is closely tied to inequality, oppression, and other forms of power-based violence. How can you capitalize on the attention surrounding sex trafficking to promote a more nuanced, accurate understanding of the issue among your community members?
In this webinar, we will present current information about sex trafficking, discuss the connection between sex trafficking and DVSA, establish links between sex trafficking and oppression, and give you tools to conduct sex trafficking awareness efforts with your community members.
Participants will receive a copy of a sex trafficking awareness PowerPoint presentation that they can customize and deliver.
