Virtual Learnings & Resources

Register for our July virtual lunch & learn for World Day Against Trafficking in Persons!

Familial trafficking has perhaps been one of the least researched and most widely misunderstood forms of trafficking, even though it is one of the most commonly occurring, especially in rural communities. During this webinar, Dr. Mary Brannock at ETSU will be joining our CCAHT team to explore and discuss why and how familial trafficking occurs and how communities and systems can better support survivors and prevent this form of exploitation.

This webinar is free and open to any community member or allied professional who would like to register!

Did you know that human trafficking rarely happens through being kidnapped by a stranger? Most trafficking victims are exploited by someone they know, trust, and love, and for 1 in 3 victims that someone is an intimate partner. We will explore and discuss the link between intimate partner violence and human trafficking, and how communities can support survivors and take proactive steps to address barriers.

In this lunch & learn, we break down the legislative landscape around human trafficking in Tennessee. We explore current counter-trafficking laws and how the Tennessee Counter-Trafficking Alliance (TCTA) is involved in influencing state-level legislation that protects survivors and strengthens prevention efforts.
