Transportation Industry Resources to Combat Human Trafficking
|
|
The International Labour Organization estimates that there are more than 40 million victims of human trafficking worldwide. NATA Compliance Services published a recent article on security risks for general aviation businesses in the Aviation Business Journal to help raise awareness of this important topic. In the U.S., major sporting events, trade shows and other large-scale events can triple the number of instances of sex trafficking. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking (TLAHT) initiative was formed in 2012 for transportation and travel industry stakeholders to maximize collective efforts to mitigate the impact of human trafficking. TLAHT’s focus areas are leadership, training and education, policy development, public awareness, and information sharing and analysis. Partners take action to combat human trafficking by issuing leadership statements, protocols, training their employees and conducting public awareness campaigns.
