Course Description
Course Description:
Human trafficking is a global public health and human rights issue (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime [UNODC], 2018) involving the exploitation of 18.7 million people and yielding profits of US$150 billion per year worldwide (International Labour Office [ILO], 2014). Although organizations from all sectors have emerged to fight against and prevent human trafficking, health care professionals are in a unique position to identify and care for trafficked persons. One study reported that 88% of trafficked persons interacted with a health care professional during their time being trafficked (Lederer & Wetzel, 2014). Despite a high frequency of contact with trafficked individuals, there is a documented lack of both education available to health care providers on the signs of human trafficking and protocols on caring for trafficked individuals.
