Human Trafficking Presentation
On November 19th, 2025, our CWL members hosted Defend Dignity, as they discussed internet safety for children and grandchildren.
Defend Dignity provided education on the current state of human trafficking, and how social media and access to the internet can have a major impact on our younger people. They provided great tips and tools we can use to recognize these issues, and how we can approach these difficult conversations with our children and grandchildren.
Thank you, Defend Dignity on this insightful presentation.
