Next Coalition Meeting June 12th, 2021 8 A.M. PST
National Faith Coalition Against Human Trafficking -
Engaging Men in the Fight Against Human Trafficking
The purpose of the faith coalition is to connect the faith community and provide an opportunity for people in the faith community to teach each other how they can build their efforts in the fight against human trafficking. The June meeting will feature a panel of men who have been successful at engaging men in the fight against human trafficking. They will share the kinds of actions that men are uniquely qualified to do that will make a real difference in reducing sex buying which is key to ending human sex trafficking. It is just as important that women attend this meeting as men because it is often women who organize efforts at churches and they need to understand this issue from a male perspective. There will also be a break out room, networking opportunity where participants can share their efforts and meet each other.

The Intersection of Black Boys, Risk Factors and Sex Trafficking from a Trauma Perspective
At this meeting we will examine the connection between trauma in the black community and how trauma sets up black males to be vulnerable to both becoming victims and perpetrators. Dr. Ingrahm will be our guest speaker. In the questions and answer period as well as the break-out rooms, we will discuss what can be done to reduce that vulnerability. Please join us for this powerful and dynamic event.
