2	3 Human Trafficking Conference 2018 Human Trafficking Conference 2018 December 3, 2018 9:00 am - 2:00 pm Human trafficking is a complex problem with multiple contributing factors. Both in the United States and here in North Carolina, interrelated inequities exist and are among the social issues that contribute to human trafficking and victimization. According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, North Carolina is ranked 8th in the nation due to the volume of human trafficking calls. In one study, 87.8% of trafficking survivors reported accessing healthcare services during their trafficking situation. Of this 68.3% were seen at an emergency department. (Lederer & Wetzel, 2014).

Health care providers and leaders can play an important role in recognizing and responding to human trafficking victims. Greater awareness of human trafficking among providers and other health care professionals enables the health care system to more effectively assess risk among vulnerable patients in the U.S. and can improve victim identification and response. This webinar will provide hospitals and health systems with the tools to identify and respond to potential victims of labor trafficking.
