Human trafficking is a pressing issue in New Jersey, given its proximity to criminal networks and international ports in New York and Philadelphia, numerous farms that rely on migrant labor, and large number of vulnerable children particularly in low-income communities.
This seminar will focus on the following topics: What is human trafficking? / Who are the traffickers and victims? / Training on victim identification / Introduction to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA, 2000), including general information about the T-visa
