A survivor of human trafficking is one of the speakers at a special presentation coming to Woodstock on May 28th.
OXFORD COUNTY - Crimes Stoppers of Oxford County in collaboration with community partners are hosting a public information session about the dangers of human trafficking in Oxford County.
Human Trafficking is not something that only happens in the big city, it happens locally as well. Parents, teachers, law enforcement officers, government workers, caregivers, and residents are invited to join experts in the field to learn more about the strategies used to groom and recruit victims, what to watch for, and what to do if you suspect something is wrong.
The event will feature a presentation from Carol Pugh-Roberts who is a survivor of human trafficking. Human Trafficking is a growing problem worldwide and Oxford County is certainly not immune. Pugh-Roberts will share her incredible story of survival, while representatives of the OPP and Woodstock Police will explain the dangers of human trafficking locally. The police will be able to arm participants with tools to protect themselves and their loved ones. The evening will also feature a presentation from Domestic Abuse Services Oxford or DASO.
The evening will close with a question and answer period. It is happening on Tuesday May 28th from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Unifor Local 636 Hall in Woodstock on Beale Street. This event is free for everyone to attend.
