Human trafficking is a crime that occurs in every part of the globe, yet remains widely misunderstood. This course will cover an overview of human trafficking based on its United Nations definition, its intersection with human rights violations, and specifics on trafficking in Mexico. Emphasis will be placed on trafficking indicators and red flags, and students will gain an understanding of how potential victims can be identified and what responses tend to be most effective. Interactive activities will be used to understand the complex dynamics between trafficker and victim, systematic and interpersonal vulnerabilities of potential victims, and trauma-informed practices while interacting with survivors. We will cover globally recognized best practices for addressing concerns about potential trafficking and making referrals to sources of help. Students will leave the course with additional resources for further research and learning.
