Human Trafficking and Exploitation for the Dental Industry
Human trafficking is the trade of humans, most commonly for the purpose of forced labor, sexual slavery, or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others.
This course will explore what human trafficking is, how it occurs and who is most vulnerable, how to recognize risk factors, The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and the Justice for Victims Act of 2015, as well as how drug use is linked to trafficking, treatment options and procedures to helping fight this crisis.
This course will award 1 continuing education hour.
Please see the board approval box for course approvals.Human trafficking is abuse, so the rules for mandatory reporting are the same for human trafficking. If the division of quality medical assurance licenses you, you need to report suspected trafficking. The need doesn’t end there, though. Everyone has a role to play in combating human trafficking.
If you suspect or know of human trafficking activity, please get in touch with your local police, the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-800-96-ABUSE, or Homeland Security at 802-872-6199.
Do not attempt to confront a suspected trafficker directly or alert a victim to your suspicions. Your safety, as well as the victim’s safety, is paramount.
You can also submit a tip at www.ice.gov/tips. Highly trained specialists take reports from both the public and law enforcement agencies on more than 400 laws enforced by ICE HSI, including those related to human trafficking.
By identifying victims and reporting tips, you are doing your part to help law enforcement rescue victims, and you might save a life. Law enforcement can connect victims to services such as medical and mental health care, shelter, job training, and legal assistance that restore their freedom and dignity. The presence or absence of any of the indicators is not necessarily proof of human trafficking. It is up to law enforcement to investigate suspected cases of human trafficking.
