Point Loma Classes: Human Trafficking

Hello Students!

I'm excited to share with you more information about Human Trafficking. Please feel free to look at some of the links on the right. There are some wonderful organizations out there fighting trafficking domestically and internationally.

Those of you in the Intro to Politics just look at some of the links and familarize yourself with what trafficking means. I'll be in class Wed. to share more about my personal journey and how to start making a difference right where you are!

For the Global Governance class I'll be using talking more about human trafficking between Nigeria and Italy as a case study. Below are some useful links. Please look over the TIP report and the ratings for Nigeria and Italy. The other links attached explain the situation in Nigeria/Italy. You don't have to read them all. Just look over them and recognize the problem. We'll discuss this more in class!
