Focus On: Human Trafficking
Page reviewed and updated: February 2022
The
U.S. Department of Homeland Security defines human trafficking as
“the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.” While there are many misconceptions, it’s important to remember that human trafficking can occur in any community to any person of any age, race, gender, or nationality. Nurses are on the front lines of health care and we have a responsibility to stay informed on this global issue so that we can recognize victims, collaborate with law enforcement and other professionals, and ensure safe and effective care.
CE COLLECTION: Human Trafficking
We are excited to announce the successful results from the Human Trafficking CE Collection! This collection was previously priced at $10.00 for a limited time to increase awareness and raise money for a good cause. As a result, a total of $3,780 had been collected and was donated to the Polaris Project, a leader in the global fight to eradicate modern slavery and restore freedom to survivors.
Our team at Lippincott NursingCenter thanks you for your commitment to lifelong learning and your generosity in helping us raise thousands of dollars to support the Polaris Project. We extend our gratitude to our members for making a difference!
