Dr. Janja Lalich Professor CSU, Chico Sociology Department
Dr. Lalich, in the first presentation of the STOP Human Trafficking Awareness Week at CSU, Chico, presents a basic overview of the world-wide problem of what is also known as Modern-Day Slavery. The Trafficking Victims Protection Act’s (TVPA) definition of Modern-Day Slavery is “the exploitation of a person through force, fraud, or coercion for financial benefit.” Transportation of the victim from one locale to another is not required in order to fit the definition, although that is often the case.
