Every year, thousands of men, women, and children are trafficked into the
United States according to the U.S. government. Victims are trafficked for
the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation, labor, and debt bondage. U.S.
citizen victims are also trafficked within and outside the country.
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,
approximately 100,000 U.S. children each year are victims of commercial
sexual exploitation.



The United States uses a four paradigm approach in combating human
trafficking: prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnerships. In
addition to the U.S. federal law, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act
(TVPA), states have also passed their own individual state laws to address
human trafficking.



What is currently being done to respond to and combat trafficking in the
United States? What is succeeding? What isn't? The panel will tackle
challenges and lessons learned in combating human trafficking from a
victim-centered, enforcement, and prevention perspective.



*When*: *Wednesday, May 25*,  *2:00- 4:00pm EST*

*Co-Sponsored with the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation*
