The discussion will define human trafficking and examine its most common forms, including sex trafficking, forced labor, and domestic servitude. Participants will gain insight into locations where commercial sex may be taking place and explore key areas within hospitality settings where trafficking is most likely to occur. The session will highlight possible warning signs and behavioral indicators that may suggest trafficking activity. Finally, attendees will learn what actions to take if they suspect human trafficking, ensuring both safety and compliance with legal and ethical responsibilities.
