Special Topics in Trafficking: Supply and Demand From a Global Perspective
Special Topics in Trafficking: Supply and Demand From a Global Perspective
The global module focuses on the larger issue of human trafficking. It is not specific to children but rather focuses on labor trafficking and global sex trafficking including international child sex trafficking and sex tourism. An additional focus area includes how political upheaval around the world contributes to a growing refugee crisis and how that crisis contributes to trafficking. This module will also focus on recognizing and understanding the roles that traffickers and gangs play as they provide the supply of children in sex trafficking. Additionally, the module will focus on how buyers contribute to the demand for child sex trafficking and how each group continues the cycle of victimization. Societal factors around the acceptance of violence and how that contributes to supply and demand will also be addressed
