Soroptimist International of Trenton Area is presenting a free public symposium focusing on Human Trafficking in the United States.   More specifically, Human Trafficking in Michigan.  The event will consist of 10 minute presentations by subject matter experts. The Panel will consist of representatives from the University of Michigan Law Clinic; State of Michigan Internet Crimes Against Children, First Step S.A.N.E. (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner)  and Local Law Enforcement Agencies.  A Q & A session will follow the presentations. Human Trafficking is a form of modern day slavery and estimated to be a $32 million global industry. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, human trafficking has become the second fastest growing criminal industry in the nation, second only to drugs.  Trafficking can no longer be thought of as only happening in other countries.
