Confronting Human Trafficking Today: Insights, Risks, and Collective Action Webinar

Join the Thomson Reuters Institute in observance of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons for an engaging virtual discussion on one of the most pressing human rights challenges of our time.

This webinar will take place on July 30 at 10:00 AM CT, bringing together experts across sectors to explore the evolving landscape of human trafficking and the critical role collaboration plays in addressing it.

Hosted by Heather Panton, Thomson Reuters Senior Advisor of Social Impact and Human Rights, the session will feature Andrew Workman (TRSS), who will share insights from his forthcoming research on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG)—highlighting the intersection of trafficking, vulnerability, and systemic risk. Additional panelists from federal law enforcement and investigative agencies are expected to join the discussion, offering perspectives from the front lines of prevention and enforcement.

Together, panelists will examine the complexities of trafficking today, including emerging trends, the impact on vulnerable communities, and the importance of coordinated efforts across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.

We invite professionals, partners, and advocates committed to advancing justice and protecting communities to join this important conversation as we work toward a world free from exploitation.
