The Central Ohio Rescue and Restore Coalition today held its annual “Unlocking the Chains” conference in an effort to help mobilize their communities to combat human trafficking.  Samir Goswami, Director of Corporate Responsibility at LexisNexis who has been working on human trafficking issues for over fifteen years, was one of over a dozen speakers at the event.  Goswami highlighted the demand – or market for sex – as one of the primary pillars of trafficking. 

The 7th Annual International Human Trafficking, Prostitution, and Sex Work Conference took place October 7th and 8th at the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. With over 400 attendees from Canada, Papua New Guinea, and across the United States and presenters from Nigeria, India, and around the United States, this year’s conference was a great success.

The 7th Annual International Conference on Human Trafficking, Prostitution and Sex Work is planned for October 7th and 8th at the University of Toledo Student Union. The Conference Committee is currently applying for Continuing Education Credits and finalizing presenters.
