Transcript of WORKING TOGETHER TO END HUMAN TRAFFICKING · (Investigative Journalist, Author of A Crime So...
The 2016 Trafficking in Persons Report from the U.S. State Department estimates that human trafficking is a $150 billion global illicit industry. The 2016 Global Slavery Index estimates that there are 45.8 million people living in modern slavery today. Known to exist in 167 countries, human trafficking and forced labor are issues that cross all borders. While the issues are well documented and often discussed, solutions to effectively address them are complex and not as developed.
Jones Day, in partnership with the Greater Houston Community Foundation, is hosting this working roundtable to foster innovative, cutting-edge, and candid discussions among key stakeholders on how they can work together to end human trafficking. Participants will discuss what is working and what is not in the fight against human trafficking; identify gaps in traditional approaches; and develop ideas for new collaborations, partnerships, and action plans. Invited participants include corporate counsel, compliance officers, social responsibility executives, healthcare providers and educators, government officials, judges, NGO personnel, and impact investors.
