Human trafficking ties as the world's second largest global enterprise. Florida ranks third in the nation for reported cases with a large percentage emanating from Southwest Florida. Approximately fifty percent of victims are children. Human trafficking respects no boundaries, borders or jurisdictions. It exists right here in Collier County; in areas you would never suspect as we carry out our daily routines and errands. In this presentation, the issue of human trafficking will be explained and what can be done to prevent this heinous crime. By opening our eyes and asking the right questions, not only can we become better aware of how to combat this terrible human tragedy, we might even help save or redeem some lives.
