Child Labor Trafficking & Intersections with CSE
Trata de niños con fines laborales
y explotación sexual comercial
Este seminario virtual se presentará en
inglés con interpretación al español.
Children and youth are exploited every day through labor trafficking, coerced, tricked, or forced into unsafe work for little to no pay. This issue is not limited to other countries; it is happening across the U.S., including California, and impacts both domestic and foreign-born youth. Labor trafficking often overlaps with commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) and even forced criminality. Traffickers prey on vulnerable young people, especially those with experience in foster care or the juvenile justice system. This training will help professionals and community members recognize warning signs, respond with trauma-informed care, and connect youth and families to vital resources.
Participants will be able to:
- Understand child labor trafficking and industries of concern
- Identify indicators and overlaps with CSE
- Apply trauma-informed practices
- Access local, state, and national resources
Todos los días, niños y jóvenes son víctimas de explotación laboral, coaccionados, engañados u obligados a realizar trabajos inseguros a cambio de una remuneración mínima o sin remuneración alguna. Este problema no solo afecta a otros países, sino que también ocurre en Estados Unidos, incluida California, y afecta tanto a jóvenes nacidos en el país como a extranjeros. A menudo, el tráfico laboral se superpone con la explotación sexual comercial (CSE, por sus siglas en inglés) e incluso con la delincuencia forzada. Los traficantes se aprovechan de los jóvenes vulnerables, especialmente de aquellos que han pasado por el sistema de adopción o por el sistema de justicia juvenil. Esta capacitación ayudará a los profesionales y a los miembros de la comunidad a reconocer las señales de alerta, a responder con atención informada sobre el trauma y a conectar a los jóvenes y a sus familias con recursos vitales.
Los participantes podrán
- Comprender el tráfico de niños con fines de explotación laboral y las industrias que suscitan preocupación
- Identificar los indicadores y los puntos en común con la explotación sexual comercial infantil
- Implementar prácticas que tengan en cuenta el trauma
- Acceder a recursos locales, estatales y nacionales
Who should attend: All staff of family resource center (FRCs), child abuse prevention councils (CAPCs), community-based organizations, and other child- and family-serving systems.

MEET THE SPEAKERS
Suleman Masood, an internationally recognized subject matter expert on labor trafficking and male victimization, has been dedicated to his advocacy work since 2013. His experience has positioned him to work with local, state, and federal government agencies and non-profit organizations, creating culturally responsive services for underserved populations. Mr. Masood has led collaborations with victim service providers and task forces to build trust among survivors and the surrounding community while holding perpetrators accountable. His work emphasizes building partnerships with survivors and ensuring that strategies and implementation influence a survivor-informed approach. Currently serving as a Council Member for the United States Advisory Council on Human Trafficking, a Presidentially appointed position, Mr. Masood previously served as Council Chair from 2021-2023. Through his leadership, the Advisory Council provides recommendations on federal anti-trafficking policies to the President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF).
Mr. Masood’s partnerships with service providers and first responders include serving as a senior program manager on behalf of the Office for Victims of Crime. In 2017, Mr. Masood was credited with coining the phrase “survivor-informed,” adopted and published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The term “survivor-informed” is now integrated throughout the anti-trafficking field. In 2021, Mr. Masood wrote, produced, and narrated a one-of-a-kind visual on labor trafficking with the New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking: Labor Trafficking Here and Beyond PSA. Mr. Masood now serves as an attorney with the internationally renowned law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, where he aspires to create meaningful change within ESG compliance and antitrust law to better support trafficking survivors.
