2018 MLA Annual Conference

Come and respond to the ever-growing issue of sex-trafficking and sexual exploitation. Learn how to be a circle of protection and be empowered with the tools to respond wherever you are whether as librarians or every day citizens. Presentation will cover: a local and global scope of trafficking, the profile of a victim, signs of trafficking, common lures, internet and social media connection, cultural and grooming influences, intervention introduction, prevention methods and ways to join the fight. A resource guide will be made available for further research purposes and a visual reminder of presentation tips. Be a safe space for the youth around you and stop sex-trafficking!
