WEBINAR DETAILS
The UN International
Labour Organization estimates there are as many as 27.6 million victims of
human trafficking worldwide at any given time. We often think human trafficking
only occurs in distant places, but suspected cases have been reported in all
fifty U.S. states. The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 established
human trafficking as a criminal act, with its two primary forms identified as forced
labor and sex trafficking. During this session we will review guidance and tips
to help you fulfill your role of identifying and reporting financial
transactions relating to human trafficking activity.
