Human trafficking workshop hopes to raise awareness
Realizing that education and awareness are strong weapons, the Crime Victims’ Center and Soroptimists of Fayette County are co-sponsoring a workshop called “Human Trafficking — It’s Closer Than You Think.”
The workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, at the Uniontown Holiday Inn. A brochure explains that human trafficking is a modern form of slavery that includes forced labor and sexual exploitation.
Workshop speakers include Krista Hoffman, criminal justice specialist, Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape in Harrisburg; Denise V. Holtz, special agent, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Pittsburgh Bureau; and Krista Dollman of Mechanicsburg, representative from Change Purse, Pennsylvania Affiliate, an organization that helps victims. Continuing education and Act 48 credits are available.
