About
In September 2021, YWCA Monterey County hosted over 140 professionals and interested community members for a one-day Human Trafficking training where the development of a Multi-Agency Human Trafficking Task Force began to unfold. Three remarkable guest speakers lay the ground for the need for a Task Force in Monterey County. Interested participants joined together to create Monterey County Human Trafficking Task Force to raise the response to Human Trafficking to include increased identification and prosecution of human trafficking cases with an emphasis on services for victims
