When: July 22-23, 9 a.m.5 p.m.
Where: Radisson Hotel Harrisburg
1150 Camp Hill Bypass, Camp Hill, PA 17011
Audience: Human Trafficking Advocates, Sexual Assault Advocates
Summary: Awareness of the commercial sexual exploitation of children has grown in recent years, but only a limited number of specialized programs serve victims in the US, the need far outweighing the resources of victim service providers. Because of a lack of specialized services and shelter, some believe that incarcerating victims is the only way to approach serving them.
Registration will close on July 15.
