The extreme living conditions due to climate change are forcing the migration of entire communities world-wide. The World Bank estimates that by 2050 climate change will force more than 140 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America from their homes. Migrants, especially women and girls, are particularly vulnerable to human trafficking and forced labor. Join us as law enforcement experts, survivor service providers, scholars and policy makers explore the correlation between climate change, migration, and human trafficking. Learn about ways to reduce the resulting increased vulnerability of women and girls. Explore best practices for adequate protections and services.
