CINCINNATI –

Even in a pandemic, human trafficking continues to flourish in the United States and Cincinnati.

This Friday, professionals and concerned and curious citizens are invited to attend the 14th Annual Conference to Combat Human Trafficking in Greater Cincinnati. Presentations and curricula are hosted by the Salvation Army and are designed to assist teachers, parents, first responders, lawyers, and medical professionals.

The Salvation Army reports that it has received nearly 3,500 calls to report human trafficking, both of working and sex clams, per year. TSA estimates that human trafficking cases are increasing due to the pandemic. These issues will be discussed at the conference.

“The vulnerabilities have increased,” said Erin Meye, TSA program manager to combat human trafficking. “Domestic violence or child abuse increases in high unemployment situations. Children out of school mean that it is less often found that such outreach spaces are not as common.”
