We have covered an impressive amount of information on human exploitation in just two weeks. I’m also providing you with a list of terms and definitions as a refresher below.
After everything you have learned, please search and select for ONE type of human exploitation of your choice (ex. human trafficking, child trafficking, forced labor, etc.) and create a poster with the information where victims can seek help. Make sure you search for accurate and legit resources to include on your poster (I will confirm).
Be creative and helpful!
