San Bernardino County Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation

Join us for a virtual Zoom meeting and learn about the various manifestations of modern-day exploitation, including labor trafficking, organ harvesting, po*******hy, and domestic s*x trafficking. The correlations between cultural norms and how father involvement can contribute to the disruption of the flow on “the demand side” of s*x trafficking. Learn ways to intentionally engage fathers/men through a holistic approach that benefits families and reduces the risk of victimization.

Wednesday, July 1
10 a.m. – Noon
Online via Zoom
