The Black Experience with Human Trafficking

Dr. Nissi Hamilton, CEO of A Survivor's Voice of Victory, shares with us about racism and the systems it has created which lead to vulnerabilities with African Americans, Latinx, Indigenous and Asian women and girls that make them targets of traffickers. She shares her experience as a black woman survivor of human trafficking, including what led her to her trafficker and the barriers blocking her way to a thriving life. Dr. Hamilton is a passionate advocate for survivors and shares how we, as companies and individuals, can break down those barriers to combat racism and human trafficking.
