Framing Human Trafficking as a Public Health Crisis

Human trafficking is an incredibly complex social and community issue that connects with many others. Systemic injustices like racism, homophobia, sexism, economic inequality, and more lead some people to face more risk of human trafficking than others. It is a multi-dimensional problem that disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. Taking a public health approach to anti-human trafficking prevention and intervention activities can help communities address the root causes of this systemic issue and better support the long-term healing and success of survivors.

Join us for this important conversation with Cuyahoga County Board of Health and Kirsti Mouncey, President & CEO, Collaborative to End Human Trafficking, as we explore the issue of human trafficking through a public health perspective, with special emphasis on the need for cross sector collaboration, removing barriers to health and healthcare access, informing, educating, and empowering community members and healthcare workers about the issue of human trafficking, and offering support and services to vulnerable patients if and when risk factors are identified in a healthcare setting.
