Agenda
1. Understanding Human Trafficking
2. Understand how consent and coercion play into trafficking cases
3. Tools to avoid the pitfalls of coercive consent in your human trafficking investigations
4. Better understanding of state and federal laws around trafficking
Overview: This workshop will delve into the difficult debate surrounding human trafficking, consent and coercion. This workshop will examine human trafficking laws both federally and throughout the US and how consent and coercion play a role in the ability to investigate and prosecute sex trafficking. We will discuss the definition of consent and how societal definitions can hinder investigations and what we can do to avoid those pitfalls. The workshop will use real life examples to help illuminate the problematic idea that sex workers enthusiastically consent to trafficking.
