Human Trafficking “Trivia” (Fast Facts):
What Makes A Person Vulnerable to Trafficking?
Tuesday, February 20
noon - 1 p.m.
Brooke A. Goff Courtroom
The media usually shows human trafficking as a strange man in a van picking up a young girl off the street — but this is not what trafficking, a trafficker or a trafficked person looks like. Join us to learn who is susceptible to trafficking and uncover more myths of human trafficking.
Screening of "Same Risk, Different Gender"
Wednesday, February 21
noon - 1 p.m.
Brooke A. Goff Courtroom
While the anti-sex trafficking movement has brought awareness to female survivors of trafficking, males have been largely overlooked. "Same Risk, Different Gender" tells the true story of one boy and his experience of being groomed and sexually exploited. This short film highlights how boys and men can be seen as problems rather than as victims and thus remain unidentified when it comes to getting help.
Panel: “Broadening the Scope: A Conversation with Males Impacted by Trafficking”
Thursday, February 22
6 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Panel: “Protecting Immigrant Children from Trafficking: Their Journeys Before and After They Reach the U.S.”
Friday, February 23
noon - 2 p.m.
Brooke A. Goff Courtroom
Each year, thousands of unaccompanied migrant children from Central America arrive in the U.S. without their families. This panel explores why these children come and how we process and resettle them across the country. The panel will come full circle by describing the children's struggles to regularize their immigration status in the U.S. while providing insight on pathways to immigrate legally before they even leave home.
This event is free and open to the public. Attorneys admitted in Connecticut may claim up to two (2) CLE hours for attending this event.
