Human trafficking survivor will discuss issue with community
DeKalb District Attorney Robert James is hosting a public meeting Thursday to discuss efforts to fight human trafficking.
A survivor of human trafficking, Keisha Head, will share her story with leaders of nonprofit organizations and government agencies before they sign an agreement to work together.
"This symposium is designed to tackle the growing human trafficking epidemic in our region by first establishing a comprehensive strategy to assist those who have been victims of human trafficking, to help others identify the warning signs and to shed a light on a crime that targets both young girls and boys," James said in a statement.
The event will be held at 10 a.m. at the Maloof Auditorium at 1300 Commerce Drive in Decatur.
