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 identify victims so they can be recovered, offered services and help bring their perpetrators to justice. In this training, participants will learn about the dynamics of sex trafficking, victim identification indicators, and risk factors.
"We are proud to work with so many community partners in the fight against sex trafficking. Our working relationship with TRUST gives us added resources in this fight. From training to coordinating on the ground resources we appreciate our enhanced abilities provided by TRUST."
