In September 2018, the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center hosted a convening on behalf of the Office on Trafficking in Persons and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. The objective of the convening was to pull together a variety of human trafficking experts and disaster response experts in order to learn about the intersection between the two, share best practices, identify gaps, leverage existing resources, and develop an outline for a multisector tool focusing on holistically protecting individuals from postdisaster trafficking. These are the minutes to the convening.
