About this Event
How does a regular job become forced labor? How does a normal online friendship become exploitation? This session reveals the six mechanics that underlie all forms of trafficking: grooming, isolation, economic leverage, physical isolation, coercion, and trauma bonding.
What you'll do:
Work through two parallel scenarios at your table. One follows Maya, a 17-year-old targeted through online enticement. The other follows David, a 28-year-old Guatemalan worker whose H-2B visa gets transferred to an exploitative employer.
At four decision points in each scenario, your table chooses what happens next, and you'll see how each mechanic tightens the trap.
Walk away with a printed Six Mechanics reference card.
This is Session 2 of a three-part series. If you attended Session 1, this is the next layer. If this is your first session, you'll be able to follow along. Each session stands on its own.
Session 3: Bring It Home. (December 9) covers building a family safety plan.
Refreshments provided. Doors open at 5:30 PM.
