CSU’s Women & Gender Advocacy Center is observing Relationship Violence Awareness Month in October with three-days-worth of events, including two events with the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance.
Human Trafficking in Colorado
Human trafficking is a crime involving the exploitation of someone for the purposes of compelled labor or a commercial sex act by force, fraud, or coercion. Human trafficking victims are difficult to identify and assist without targeted identification and referral efforts. Victims can be anyone from around the world or right in your backyard.
Human Trafficking occurs in Colorado more often than you might expect. This workshop will raise awareness to Human Trafficking, offer insight to the types of human trafficking found in Colorado and the response system to both labor and sex trafficking. Workshop participants will learn how to identify various forms of exploitation, and how to work with victims and survivors, domestic and foreign nationals.
Event starts at 6 p.m. Oct. 21 in LSC 308.
