Symposiums, Forums Raise Awareness on Human Trafficking Across California

The Keep Families Safe from Trafficking Symposium is set for January 25 in Folsom, California, aiming to educate the community about the growing threat of human trafficking, particularly in Sacramento, which ranks fourth nationally for such crimes. Organized by local law enforcement, the event will feature expert speakers, including Congress members and law enforcement officials, who will discuss strategies and legislative efforts to combat trafficking. Attendees will learn to recognize warning signs and hear from survivors sharing their experiences. Additionally, the Family Crisis Center of East Texas reports a rise in human trafficking cases and emphasizes the importance of awareness, as many incidents remain underreported. Other initiatives, like a recent forum in Santa Maria, also aim to inform the public about human trafficking, highlighting its prevalence in various localities. These events reflect a concerted effort to unite communities in the fight against trafficking and support victims.
