Human Trafficking Symposium Hosted By Canton

A symposium will be held on human trafficking on May 12 at St. Thomas a'Becket Catholic Church. at 555 S. Lilley Road.

From Pearls of Great Price Coalition: It’s happening in your neighborhood, your place of work, perhaps even where you hang out. It’s something very hard to think about, much less comprehend. Human trafficking, or modern-day slavery, is a growing crime that violates the fundamental rights of women, children and men.

Hear from a survivor, FBI agents, the Attorney General's Office, anti-porn experts and more. This day-long educational event will equip you with the information and tools you need to see, hear and get involved in anti-trafficking efforts.

Because, unfortunately, it’s closer than you think. A symposium will be held on human trafficking on Friday, May 12 from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM at St. Thomas a'Becket Catholic Church at 555 S. Lilley Road in Canton.
