The session will focus on child sex trafficking victims, their experiences, and what you can do to address this form of human trafficking in the Midwest. A national and international expert, Dr. Celia Williamson has published several research articles on the subject of prostitution and human trafficking and received numerous research grants to study trafficking. She founded the Second Chance program in Lucas County in 1993 that works with trafficked girls and women.

The program won the 2010 national FBI award for its work with rescued victims. Dr. Williamson was an active force in securing an FBI Innocence Lost task force in Lucas County to address the issue of rescuing children from the sex trade in Toledo. She has organized and co-chaired six National and International Conferences on Prostitution, Sex Work and Human Trafficking.
