United Against Human Trafficking trains firefighters, paramedics, and EMT professionals to identify and appropriately respond to human trafficking. First responders hold a high level of trust within the community and encounter emergency situations where trafficking is likely to occur.

88% of human trafficking victims encountered a healthcare provider while in captivity but were not identified. This training equips health professionals to help identify and respond to potential victims they treat at work.

Traffickers are recruiting our kids in schools. Therefore, UAHT created this training to equip teachers and school officials to recognize grooming techniques and potential victims. Educators will leave understanding how they are on the frontlines in protecting at-risk students and how to intervene on their behalf.

This presentation will explore the ways that crafted stereotypes during the Transatlantic slave trade persist today, and influence structural racism. We will discuss various institutions and how racism creates barriers within various institutions. The African American community is also disproportionately affected by trafficking, and we will explain how and why.
