Human Trafficking - Dr. Lindsay Cheskes

The United Nations (UN) defines human trafficking (HT)
as “the recruitment, transport, transfer, harbouring, or
receipt of a person by such means as threat or use of force or
other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud, or deception for the
purpose of exploitation“.


What is human trafficking? How prevalent is it? What are the red
flags? How can I use the history and assessment to raise my index
of suspicion? How do I advocate for my patient?


Join our conversation with Dr. Lindsay Cheskes, EM Resident at
The Ottawa Hospital, to learn the answers to these questions, and
