No single organization, corporation, or government can end the scourge of human trafficking alone—our best hope is an approach that engages all of society. Panelists will discuss the root causes of exploitation, the role of law enforcement in arresting and prosecuting traffickers, victim identification, and restorative services.

This forum will highlight progress made in the 25 years since passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and the “3 Ps” framework—prevention, protection, and prosecution. It will highlight the need for evidence-based interventions and the importance of investing in research.

Panelists will also discuss how companies manage supply chain risks through mapping software, the significance of strategic philanthropic investments to combat trafficking, and the role of public-private partnerships to raise awareness.
