Minnesota has the opportunity to
become a national leader in its response to all forms of human trafficking, both
sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Already, Minnesota provides important
safeguards to commercially sexually exploited minors, while holding perpetrators
accountable. The same commitment toward victim protection and perpetrator
accountability can help address serious forms of labor exploitation, including
trafficking.
Minnesota legal professionals will play a vital role in
preventing and responding to human trafficking. This CLE will provide basic
definitions of human trafficking, including labor exploitation and labor
trafficking; help legal professionals recognize indicators of potentially
trafficked individuals and the risk factors of victims; and describe appropriate
responses when working with potential victims of trafficking. The Advocates will
present findings from their recently released report, Asking the Rights
Questions: A Human Rights Approach to Ending Trafficking and Exploitation in the
Workplace to illuminate the challenges facing victims of labor trafficking in
Minnesota.
This CLE is approved for
credit through June 13, 2019.
