Outline Human trafficking including sexual slavery is the fastest growing and second largest criminal industry. In Japan, hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women and children, are victims of human trafficking. These victims include not only foreigners, but increasingly Japanese citizens, especially with regard to pornography and prostitution. Since 2002, Polaris has worked to combat human trafficking in the US and Japan. Bradley Myles, Polaris CEO, will talk human trafficking in Japan and overseas, and how individuals, corporations, and family members can stop trafficking in our society.
About the Speaker Bradley Myles currently serves as Executive Director and CEO of Polaris Project, a leading non-profit organization combating modern-day slavery in the US and Japan. Mr. Myles has played a central role in the design and expansion of Polaris Project's programs, including the US Policy Program, the Training and Technical Assistance Program, and the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC), which is the country's 24-hour hotline on human trafficking.
