A Study on Human Trafficking in California

Summary of Study (limit 500 characters)

This is a report based on human trafficking reports and statistics, specifically for the state of California. This study was agreed upon by our committee members in August 2014, and since then the LWV of Los Angeles has conducted its own additional research as well as held forums to gain additional information on the topic. We are currently working with CSUN to compile a more in-depth report to be submitted in the near future, but this is our contribution thus far.
