Come learn about human trafficking in our own city Boston! Detective Donna
Gavin and Human Trafficking Coordinator Mr. Thomas Maloney of the Boston
Police will speak about their work at Boston Anti-Human Trafficking Task
Force. The Task Force combats trafficking by rescuing and supporting
victims, investigating human traffickers, prosecuting human traffickers and
those that conspire with them. Come hear their stories!

Human Trafficking is the use of force, fraud or coercion to obtain or
maintain someone in service and the use of a minor for commercial sexual
activity.  There are approximately 17,000 victims of human trafficking that
enter the United States each year.
