How to rebuild from human trafficking, and stop it in the future

Human trafficking happens all across Colorado, often in plain sight. From city streets to agricultural farms, victims come from all walks of life.

According to the Colorado-based Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking, victims are forced into exploitation through force, fraud and coercion.

On this episode of RealTalk, Amanda Jordan of Covered Colorado and Amanda Finger of the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking talk about helping people who’ve been trafficked get on a path to healing and reclaim their lives. Also, an FBI victim specialist explains how human trafficking happens, and how to prevent it.

RealTalk is hosted by Colorado Public Radio’s Nathan Fernando-Frescas and Denver 7’s Micah Smith.
