Gather resources. Equip Teams. send advocates.
This is an un-conference: Prepare to wrestle with challenging questions and connect with neighbors who are equally curious about how to respond to human trafficking. We gather everything we’ve learned about human trafficking in one place for you to steep yourself in up-to-date information.
The day will start with She Has A Name’s Human Trafficking 101 Training. We invite our partners to share resources plus ways to get involved. There are specialty courses and discussions around a variety of topics intersecting with human trafficking.
