The second presentation will be by Director Stacey Sutherland from TRUST AZ, an organization working towards the reduction of Human Trafficking, and Nate Boulter, Program Officer, Arizona Anti-Trafficking Network. Sex trafficking of children, youth and adults is a growing concern nationally and in Arizona. Trafficking is a hidden crime and is both an urban and rural issue affecting areas across our state. The first step in combatting trafficking is to lean the signs to identify victims and dispel the myths so victims can be located, offered services, and help bring their perpetrators to justice.
