Dr. Durgana will present a talk entitled, "Addressing Modern Day Slavery through Statistics: the Human Vulnerability Diagnostic Tool (HVDT) and the Global Slavery Index in the United States and Abroad"
Abstract: This talk will provide an overview of the lessons learned from the application of the Human Vulnerability Diagnostic Tool to human trafficking of minors-both citizens and foreigners-in the United States. What vulnerability factors are the most influential? We will then explore the application of the model in Tennessee and discuss the best practices of partners in the anti-trafficking field. Finally, we will review the major findings of the 2016 Global Slavery Index and the methodological improvements to this study resulting from a partnership with the Gallup World Poll.
