On Tuesday, November 8 at 9:00am EDT, the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) invites you to learn about the connection between corruption and trafficking in persons (TIP) with Nefarious Crossroads: Programs and Policies Leading to a Better Future, the final installment of its “Human Trafficking and Corruption” virtual workshop series.

Corruption erodes trust in government and destabilizes communities; it weakens the rule of law, creating an environment permissive of criminal activity. Traffickers thrives in these environments. Listen and learn from out virtual panel of corruption and trafficking experts as they discuss the successful programs and policies that intersect these two crimes.

Fighting Corruption: The Biden-Harris Administration’s flagship initiative, the Summit for Democracy, centers on democracy and human rights and challenges democratic governments to strengthen democracy and defend against authoritarianism; address and fight corruption; and promote respect for human rights. Facing today’s challenges requires a strong, collaborative push from governments, civil society, and the public; the fight against human trafficking is no different. In the spirit of the Summit, the TIP Office challenges you to consider how traffickers thrive in the absence of transparency, accountability, pluralism, equity, and rule of law – the same elements essential to a well-functioning democracy.

Have a Question? Ask it Early! The TIP Office will collect audience questions via the Eventbrite registration page until COB on Friday, November 4. Missed the deadline? Don’t fret! Audience members can also submit questions via chat during the session.

**Important information: Once you RSVP, you will receive a follow-up confirmation email that includes the link and password to the workshop.
