Description: In recognition of National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, join us for a national webinar bringing together federal partners and Tribal gaming representatives to strengthen awareness, prevention, and response efforts.
Featuring guest speakers from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Blue Campaign, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and a Tribal Gaming Regulatory Authority, this webinar will explore the importance of recognizing potential indicators of human trafficking, understanding the roles of federal and Tribal partners, and building collaborative approaches to prevention and reporting.
Participants will gain insight into human trafficking awareness, the unique role Tribal communities and gaming environments can play in identifying potential concerns, and practical strategies for promoting awareness, supporting potential victims, and strengthening partnerships across jurisdictions.
