Labor traffickers exploit vulnerable individuals and utilize gaps within labor markets. Addressing the widespread nature of labor trafficking requires a coordinated and comprehensive approach that includes victim identification and support, as well as the investigation and prosecution of offenders. State-level efforts can effectively combat labor trafficking by building multidisciplinary coalitions, engaging state agencies with regulatory authority over businesses, and harnessing the leadership of state Offices of the Attorney General.
This presentation will examine how trafficking operations often infiltrate legitimate industries and how state resources can be employed to detect and disrupt them. The presenter will share strategies for identifying relevant state agencies responsible for both business oversight and the protection of vulnerable populations. Focus will include how Offices of the Attorney General—regardless of their specific authority—can lead collaborative efforts to hold traffickers accountable.

The NIPSV is a three-and-a-half-day interactive course designed to challenge participants to re-evaluate their approach to prosecuting sexual assault. The Institute is grounded in a multidisciplinary, victim-centered response to sexual violence and encourages participants to expand their concept of justice in these cases by balancing victim autonomy with offender accountability and community safety. Through a combination of hypothetical case scenarios, participant exercises, small group discussions, interactive lectures, and faculty demonstrations, participants will re-examine their own beliefs about sexual violence and refine their prosecution case evaluation, litigation, and trial presentation skills. The highly interactive format enables prosecutors from different jurisdictions, with varied levels of experience, to learn from one another and engage in "real-life" scenarios that are readily transferable to their everyday work. At the end of the Institute, participants will be better equipped to hold offenders of sexual assault criminally accountable while centering victims' needs and voices throughout the process.
The National Institute on the Prosecution of Sexual Violence is supported by Grant No. 15JOVW-24-GK-03009-MUMU awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice.
