In Episode #79, Claudine Wiant of the Beau Biden Foundation describes what Human Trafficking is, who are the potential victims, and how to prevent human trafficking. She explains the history of how it became illegal as well as what CASA volunteers should be aware of when working with a youth experiencing foster care, as they are a target population. Here are some resources she shared with us:
