'Preventing Human Trafficking' Lunchtime Seminar with speakers from Migrant Help and the PSNI on Wednesday 18th April 2012 at the Reception Hall, Belfast City Hall.

The next in our series of lunchtime seminars will focus on the topic of human trafficking, identified by the PSNI as a growing organised crime issue in Northern Ireland. Although the slave trade was abolished over 200 years ago, slavery still exists today, in the form of trade in human beings. Between April and December of last year, 25 people in Northern Ireland were rescued from traffickers.

This seminar has been organised to raise awareness of the issues around human trafficking in N.I. and to enable participants to identify the signs and indicators associated with trafficking. Roger McVicker from Migrant Help, the lead agency in providing support to rescued victims, and Philip Marshall from the PSNI will be present to lead the seminar and to answer questions on issues relating to detection and prevention.

Booking is essential and lunch is served. To register, please RSVP by April 16th to:
