Deadline to Register: April
17
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.
Lunch will be provided.
Co-sponsored by the MSBA Human Rights
Committee
