Midyear 2019: Experts explore measures to end trafficking at casinos, as abuse rises worldwide

Human trafficking thrives around the world despite growing awareness of the problem.
Globally, an estimated 40.3 million people were victims of human trafficking — or modern-day slavery as it’s known – on any given day in 2016, according to the latest statistics compiled by the Global Slavery Index. In the United States, between 14,500 and 17,500 people are victims of human trafficking each year.
In Las Vegas, the problem centers around casinos and hotels. These industries “often employ less-visible employees including cleaning, cooking, janitorial, service and other staff who are vulnerable to labor exploitation and human trafficking, particularly when there is lack of clarity over legal jurisdictions and protections for these crimes,“ says Davina Durgana, a statistician from Great Falls, Va., whose award-winning work is dedicated to ending human rights abuses.
Durgana is among experts who will be participating in the American Bar Association Midyear Meeting program, “Trafficking in the World of Chance: Human Trafficking in the Casino Industry and Beyond” held on Friday, Jan. 25, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in Caesar Palace’s Forum Ballroom 15-16. Moderator U.S. District Court Judge Leo Brisbois of the District of Minnesota will lead a panel in a discussion of the human trafficking and its role in the casino industry. Panelists will explain how to identify victims and what steps can be taken to end the growing problem.
Durgana works for the Walk Free Foundation, an initiative fighting to end modern slavery, forced labor and human trafficking, and has developed leading global models to assess risk and vulnerability to modern slavery.  The foundation and its allies face an uphill battle. Durgana says human trafficking generates a profit of $32 billon every year and is the third-largest international crime industry behind illegal drugs and arms trafficking.
Yet, as awareness grow, so do the efforts to address the problem. “There are many organizations working to combat this crime in the United States,” Durgana says. “Great advocates and nonprofit groups such as the Polaris national hotline, connecting victims to trained law enforcement; the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, advocating for the labor rights of all; and GoodWeave International, working to end exploitation in supply chains, among many others.”
Fellow panelist George Jenkot, who is vice president of security and surveillance at Firekeepers Casino and Hotel in Battle Creek, Mich., says due to the presence of state and federal regulations, the casino

How do human traffickers transport their victims?

Traffickers will arrange for victims to get to them through airlines, trains, and most typically long-distance buses like Greyhound. Informal bus systems like “Chinatown buses” are also ideal recruitment grounds for traffickers from illicit massage networks.
