Program
The first Global Forum on Human Trafficking is a rare opportunity where leading experts from multiple fields will come together to discuss their current work to confront human trafficking. Like the issue, the conference will span local, national, and international efforts and highlight a plethora of approaches.
The leading experts confronting human trafficking acknowledge the importance of collaborating and discussing prevention, protection, and prosecution efforts -as well as the need to address effects of human trafficking, like poverty. The Not For Sale Campaign is bringing together the world’s leading abolitionists working in Canada, Nepal, Australia, the United States, and other countries to discuss the most effective measures to confront this global atrocity… Only one question remains… Will you be there?
