HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN TEXAS
Friday, November 20, 8:00 pm
Sunday, November 22, 5:00 pm
Most people assume that slavery ended in the U.S. with the Civil War, but the fact is that this practice continues even today.
Human Trafficking: slavery, prostitution, forced labor, involuntary servitude or the sale of babies and children for adoption, is a growing crime with a high profit margin and a low risk of prosecution.
With a diverse population, proximity to the border and ports, and access to many of our nation’s major highways, Houston is ideal for entry and exportation of human traffic.
Scheduled Guests:
Agent Maritza Conde-Vazquez
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Charlotte Morris
Coalition Against Human Trafficking of Houston
Maria Trujillo
Houston Rescue and Restore Coalition
