Human Trafficking In Northern Virginia
What is human trafficking? Does it really happen in Northern Virginia? What are the red flags? What can you do?
Join us for a presentation from the Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Task Force for answers to these questions, and to learn how you can help in the fight. Recognize the warning signs. Get the facts. Help prevent human trafficking by getting involved.
Joni Langevoort is a member of the speaker’s bureau of the Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Task Force, and is passionate about raising awareness in the Washington area about trafficking. She serves on several boards, committees, councils, and organizations in her church in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, and is Publisher Liaison for Malice Domestic.
