Labor Trafficking and Forced Criminality: Understanding the Scope, Trends and Response

MARK YOUR CALENDAR
STAC Third Friday Human Trafficking Webinar 
Friday, August 21, 2026 | 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. EST

Labor trafficking remains one of the least understood forms of human trafficking, and many survivors experience forced criminality as part of their exploitation. This webinar will explore the scope of labor trafficking in the United States, examine how both children and adults are coerced into criminal activity, and highlight the services, legal remedies, and resources available to support survivors.

The session will also introduce Framework, a federally funded training and technical assistance initiative that helps social service providers and community organizations strengthen their response to labor trafficking by increasing survivor identification, expanding services, and building cross-sector partnerships.

Presenters Florencia Dominguez and Kristina Bailey bring more than a decade of combined experience in anti-trafficking, refugee, and child protection programs, offering practical insights for professionals working to better identify and support survivors.
