2021 VR Women’s Summit: How to Spot Sex Trafficking in Your Home Rental(s) with Margaret Cascio and Michelle Marquis

The hospitality industry unwittingly plays a part in sex trafficking around the world and, more importantly, in our own backyards. With philanthropic partners, Sudara and The Guardian Group, this session will 1) review the latest data of this global epidemic, 2) share how to identify and prevent trafficking, and 3) identify the best ways to engage the authorities if you or your team suspect something is wrong. Attendees will take home new awareness and communication tactics to disrupt the sex trafficking of women and children. Learn to be a part of the solution, not the problem.
