Symposium on Human Trafficking: A Day of Learning
This project convened a three-part symposium in May 2006 on human trafficking. It explored the social, political, and economic factors that underlie human trafficking; the links between international peacekeeping and trafficking; how trafficking intersects with public health issues; and the U.S. government's policy responses to trafficking. A summary, transcripts, and audio recordings of the symposium are available below.
