AAUW Manhattan Beach - Human Trafficking discussion
Discussion on Human Trafficking
Victims of this heinous crime can be found right here in our own backyard. The mission of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Task Force on Human Trafficking (LAMTF-HT) is to identify and rescue trafficking victims, provide assistance, and prosecute those responsible.
The LAMTF-HT was launched in January 2005 under the leadership of the LAPD, Robbery-Homocide Division. The LAMTF-HT is a multi-agency consortium created to address the complex problem of human trafficking in the greater LA metropolitan area, which includes both the City and County of Los Angeles.
The LAMTF is a coalition of 25 federal and local law enforcement and prosecution agencies and social service providers that work together to identify and aid trafficking victims. Kimberly will speak about the task force’s accomplishments and will provide tips for identifying victims of human trafficking. The discussion will be facilitated by Emily Williams.
