“The Dynamics of Sex Trafficking”
Thurs., Feb. 1, 2024 at 3:00 PM in Matthews Auditorium
Dr. David Wahl (Asst. Professor of Sociology & Criminology) and representatives from the Regional Victim Crisis Center and the Abilene Recovery Council will be present to take questions and talk about sex trafficking. Light refreshments will be provided.

Human trafficking is a $150 billion business globally with $99 billion of that coming from sex trafficking alone. It is a social problem that plagues all communities, including Abilene, Texas. This panel discussion, hosted by The Division of Humanities, Religion, and Social Sciences at McMurry University, explores the dynamics of sex trafficking, with a particular focus on what sex trafficking looks like, the identifiers of a trafficker and those who are being trafficked, and what communities, and individuals within those communities, can do to combat the problem and support victims/survivors of sex trafficking.
