Human trafficking represents a multibillion criminal industry that is one of the fastest growing.  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.  Michele Garnett McKenzie is the Advocacy Director at The Advocates for Human Rights.  She is responsible for policy advocacy and community and coalition engagement around their priority issues of human trafficking, refugee and immigrant rights and diaspora community engagement.  Michele successfully led the effort to pass groundbreaking legislation protecting sexually exploited youth in the State of Minnesota.  Christine Kaehler hosts at Winslow House.
