Purpose: To provide students with the necessary tools and resources to identify and raise awareness about the dangers of human trafficking. We hope students will leave this Summit understanding the definition of human trafficking, how to identify risk factors, and how to develop practices for prevention.
U.S. Congressmn Rodney Davis:At a similar event I hosted over one year ago, I was both inspired and educated on the importance of addressing the human trafficking issue by a guest who went from being an honor roll student to a victim of human trafficking overnight. As a father and a member of the Victims Rights Caucus, her story deeply impacted me and led to my desire to host this informative event for students in the Metro East St. Louis area of my district. The United States Department of Justice identified St. Louis among the top 20 human trafficking jurisdictions in the country. As students, educators, administrators, community leaders, and educated citizens, we can work to combat domestic trafficking while protecting and helping victims.
