Happening tonight: Human trafficking focus of Carson City forum
Carson City Juvenile Services in partnership with Xquisite, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office and Advocates to End Domestic Violence, will highlight “World Day Against Trafficking In Persons” tonight, Wednesday July 30.
The forum will examine human trafficking locally and nationally. There’s more than 27 million victims of human trafficking in the world today.
The forum will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, 911 E Musser Street in the Ormbsy Room.
During the forum, Carson City Sheriff’s Office detectives, Xquisite and Advocates To End Domestic Violence to discuss current issues surrounding human trafficking in Carson City and nationally.
Xquisite notes the following:
The true scale of human trafficking is difficult to determine because it is a hidden crime. Victims are conditioned to protect their traffickers and deflect any attention away from the trafficking enterprise through extreme violence and threats to them personally or their families.
Human trafficking is often referred to as “modern-day slavery” due to the exploitation and control traffickers exert over their victims. The vortex of the coercion is nearly impossible to escape. Turning a blind eye doesn’t make it go away; it only fuels the ability to sell someone one more time.
“Human trafficking continues to be a global threat driven by organized crime. More and more victims are being trafficked every year, across greater distances, with greater violence, for longer periods of time and for greater profit,” according to United Nations-World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. “Organized criminal networks are driving this victimization and exploitation, using migration flows, global supply chains, legal and economic loopholes and digital platforms to facilitate cross-border trafficking at a massive scale. They profit from forced labour, sexual exploitation and coercion into criminal activities.”
