Description

Human trafficking is a crime that has dramatically increased in the Greater Milwaukee area. However, many people still don’t believe it happens here. Not knowing the risk can leave our children open to becoming victims. Learn how youth are being coerced into trafficking, how social media is playing an increased role in luring them in and why many are unable to see their way out. We will explore the reality of human trafficking in our community and ways to keep our families safe. Bring your question as there will be time for discussion.
