Progress Report 3

I have been extensively researching human trafficking in the context of large world events, such as prior Olympics, Super Bowls, World Cups, etc. Specifically, I have been looking into their strategies for combating human trafficking at the events and how they might be helpful for building our groups action campaign. In addition, I looked at the results of the preventative strategies to further understand the effectiveness of the strategy in preventing human trafficking. Through my research, there were common themes I came across: educating the public on what human trafficking is and signs of human trafficking, create a prevention strategy that is specific to the region you are working in, have a model set up for how you will deal with trafficking victims when identified (care, housing, translation, etc), develop a campaign that will have a lasting effect and not just be present for the course of the event. Another theme was that human trafficking isn’t just limited to sexual exploitation, but also includes forced servitude and organ trafficking. These takeaways will be beneficial in organizing our campaign so that we can motivate our audience to take action and help stop human trafficking.
