GCIV Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture: Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

Lecture by Maja Hasic, Tapestri Inc., Human Trafficking Program Director

Almost every nation has enacted laws criminalizing human trafficking, and international organizations, governments, and NGOs sponsor a large variety of projects to curb trafficking and slavery. Billions of dollars have been allocated to these efforts. What is the international community doing to combat slavery and trafficking? What are the experiences like for those being trafficked?

GCIV serves as the statewide coordinator for the Foreign Policy Association’s (FPA) Great Decisions program that gives participants the opportunity to expand their understanding of current world affairs.
