From December 14, 2027, products manufactured using forced labor may no longer be placed on the market, made available, or exported within the Union. The three-part online seminar series "EU Forced Labor Regulation in Practice," offered by the Helpdesk for Business and Human Rights in cooperation with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, provides a practical overview of the requirements of the EU Forced Labor Regulation and support services for affected companies.

The second online seminar focuses on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It explains what the regulation means for economic operators, i.e., for companies regardless of their size, and thus explicitly also for SMEs. Key obligations are covered, as well as the question of what the authorities' risk-based approach specifically means for SMEs.

The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees was drafted 75 years ago. It has evolved through formal additions (the 1967 Protocol), expansion (regional instruments in Africa and Latin America), and human rights driven evolutive interpretation. This webinar explores whether it is fit for purpose – does it meet the challenge to protect those fleeing war and conflict and climate crises? What additional sources of international protection are available or needed? What are the implications of current containment practices and the erosion of international protection?

This training offers a law enforcement perspective on the investigation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and Child Sexual Trafficking (CST), with a focus on how victim service providers, social service professionals, and medical professionals can contribute to an effective, coordinated response.

Participants will learn why these investigations are complex, what information can be critical to an investigation, and how collaboration across disciplines can support both investigative efforts and the needs of children experiencing exploitation. The training will highlight practical, actionable steps providers can take when they encounter potential CSAM or CST, including considerations for documentation, reporting, preserving relevant information, and communicating with law enforcement without compromising an investigation. You will leave with a clearer understanding of the investigative process and practical strategies for strengthening collaboration, supporting victims, and responding appropriately to concerns involving CSAM and CST.

Trauma can profoundly shape how survivors experience healthcare, social services, education, law enforcement, and other systems of support. Effective screening and assessment require more than identifying indicators—they require approaches that recognize trauma, reduce harm, and build trust.

In this live virtual training, participants will explore practical, trauma-informed approaches to screening and assessment that prioritize safety, dignity, consent, and survivor choice. Through interactive discussion, case scenarios, and skills-based activities, the course examines how professionals can recognize trauma responses, communicate more effectively, and support survivors without causing additional harm.

Participants will also explore strategies for documenting encounters, strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration, and sustaining trauma-informed practice across healthcare, social services, public health, education, law enforcement, and related fields.

Human trafficking training is increasingly common across healthcare and other professional settings. But what makes a training actually effective?

In this HEAL Hour, Hanni Stoklosa, MD, MPH, and Kara Napolitano will explore what it takes to move beyond simply sharing information and create training that supports meaningful learning, changes practice, and strengthens systems of care.

Using HEAL's Human Trafficking Curriculum Assessment Tool (HT-CAT) as a foundation, they'll explore practical strategies for developing and delivering training that is evidence-based, engaging, trauma-informed, survivor-centered, and relevant to real-world practice.

An estimated 50 million people worldwide are victims of human trafficking. In the United States alone, approximately 400,000 individuals are exploited through sex trafficking, labor trafficking, or domestic servitude. Traffickers earn an estimated $240 billion annually, more than the combined revenue of major Fortune 500 companies such as Apple, Amazon, Disney, General Motors, and Ford.

Statistics show that one in four trafficking victims is a child. Nearly 95% of teens between the ages of 13 and 17 have an online presence, and half report being online constantly. Traffickers have adapted to this reality by using social media, gaming platforms, and messaging applications to groom and recruit youth.

This webinar examines how traffickers leverage modern technology to target children, reviews commonly used online platforms, and discusses the digital tools exploited to facilitate child trafficking.

Youth who have experienced trafficking often have significant histories of trauma before, during, and after trafficking. Efforts by professionals across a wide array of disciplines and roles are essential to achieve youth safety and wellbeing. Yet, because youth who have experienced trafficking have high rates of prior and ongoing trauma, as well as ongoing safety threats and systemic challenges, the stressors facing the anti-trafficking workforce are significant. Secondary traumatic stress (STS) and related impacts (moral distress, vicarious traumatization, “burnout”) are high among those who work with survivors of trafficking. The Trafficking Workforce Well-Being Toolkit was developed to support communities, organizations, supervisors, and individuals by curating and adapting the best available resources for STS prevention and workforce wellbeing.

Professional wellbeing is often viewed as the responsibility of the individual and, indeed, there are a range of strategies that individuals can employ to enhance resilience and protect against harms, some of which are included in the Toolkit. However, it is a point of emphasis in this Toolkit that the individual is embedded in work environments (supervisory and peer relationships), organizations, and communities that all contribute to well-being. It is essential that strategies to address wellbeing are in place at all levels to support and sustain the workforce.

This webinar will provide an introduction to secondary traumatic stress and related concepts associated with workforce wellbeing and an overview of the newly developed Trafficking Workforce Well-Being Toolkit. Whether you are an individual seeking resources for yourself, a supervisor hoping to improve your support of others, a leader interested in driving change throughout your organization, or an advocate looking to make legislative and policy change, this toolkit provides information and resources to guide your efforts.

“People don’t heal because we identify them, they heal when they feel safe.” Many victims of trafficking, abuse, and violence are unable to self identify or safely disclose what they are experiencing. Yet systems often rely on red flags, checklists, and direct questioning, placing the burden of disclosure on those least able to carry it. Presented by the NJ Coalition Against Human Trafficking and HEAL Trafficking, with funding from RWJ Barnabas Health, this survivor-informed webinar shifts the focus from identification to safety. Through lived experience and survivor perspective, participants will explore what helps people feel safer in moments of care and interaction, even when disclosure never happens. The conversation centers on language, environment, and responses that reduce harm, build trust, and open pathways to support.
