Virtual Symposium on Human Trafficking

At the first seminar held in January, we learned about the reality of human trafficking in the various countries of South and Southeast Asia, and the importance of strengthening international networks between faith-based organizations and organizations working to prevent human trafficking, and the role of religious leaders.

In this virtual symposium we will focus on the vulnerable sectors of society, the women and children trapped in modern-day slavery. The seminar will be focusing on “The Women and Children of Asia Trapped in Modern-Day Slavery.”

The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that 40.3 million people are victims of human trafficking worldwide, and most of the victims are children and women. The seminar will focus on the trafficking issue of children and women of Asia from a religious perspective.

The speakers are ACRP’s proud experts and colleagues from various religious and cultural backgrounds in Asia, who have been researching the issue of human trafficking for many years.
