In response to the Freedom Light Human Trafficking Training, VAAN leadership recieved positive feedback from the virtual academy and invited Dr. Mehlman-Orozco to present again during the Summer of 2022. Specifically, Program Officer Jenny Escalera-Guerrero from VAAN stated that the Freedom Light “presentation on Human Trafficking received really well survey reports and participants learned a lot of useful information.” Freedom Light is excited to continue working with VAAN to empower all people with fact-based interventions to end sex-trafficking and liberate victims.
