The Human Trafficking Toll: Stories of Survival

A Presentation of the InfraGard National Members Alliance and NEC National Security Systems Sponsor Series
Human trafficking and child sexual exploitation are among America’s most disturbing crimes. Often illustrated by grim statistics, their true toll can only be found in the real-life experiences of individuals whose lives are forever changed when they are victimized as modern-day slaves. This webinar, second in a six-part signature series, will shine a light on the human toll, from the loss of freedom and dignity to reclaiming power and purpose to make the world a better place – hear two stories:

1. A Survivor’s Story – Hear the inspiring true story of Dr. Suamhirs Piraino-Guzman, who will share his harrowing story of overcoming child sexual exploitation and human trafficking to inspire the law enforcement and security fields to take action against these heinous crimes.

Attendees will also learn innovative methods of victim engagement and victim-centered principles to support human trafficking survivors.
