This webinar will explore how the crimes of sex trafficking and stalking intersect in Indigenous communities. This webinar/discussion will discuss how these crimes can be misunderstood and unrecognized. In addition, the misconceptions surrounding both stalking and sex trafficking will be explored. This webinar will go over how critical it is to identify stalking and sex trafficking and that the crime of stalking should not be minimized due to its likelihood of being a precursor of sex trafficking and MMIP.
