Great Decisions Conversation: Human Trafficking in the 21st Century

Giant Eagle Market District, Grandview Yard, Upstairs Dining Area

840 W. 3rd Avenue, Columbus, OH 43212

Speaker: Great Decisions Discussion Group

Signature Luncheon 9-3-2015

Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on foreign policy. This week’s conversation covered human trafficking in the 21st century. Human trafficking represents a multibillion in international trade per annum and continues to be one of the fastest growing criminal industries. While undeniably a global phenomenon, the U.S., as one of the world’s leading human trafficking importers, bears a special responsibility to combat this practice. The U.S. and the international community have adopted various treaties and laws to prevent trafficking, but to truly understand and combat the issue, they must find the root causes enabling traffickers to exploit millions of victims.
