NSU to hold International Conference and Charity Golf Tournament to Raise Awareness of Human Trafficking, May 6 – 7
Florida is one of the top four destination states for human trafficking. An estimated 14,500 to 17,500 women and children are brought into the United States each year by human traffickers and forced into prostitution.
Called the International Child Health Forum (ICHF), the conference will bring together FBI agents, White House officials, State Department officials, and health care providers to collaboratively seek solutions to fight the scourge of human sex trafficking.
The conference will be broadcast live worldwide to authorities and organizations dedicated to stopping sex traders. Health care providers who are on the frontlines will learn how to differentiate domestic abuse from trafficking victims. Visit www.nova.edu/ichf for additional information.
Additionally, on May 7, ICHF is hosting a charity golf tournament to fight human trafficking. The 6th annual Fore the Kids: Saving Lives golf tournament will raise money to battle human trafficking, a global problem requiring local action. Visit www.nova.edu/forekids for additional information.
