This course was one of the worst ever courses on coursera. No video lessons, no moderators for forums,no literature. -

Very helpful overview with practical resources. I recommend that all work places require this training and post the national hotline number in rooms of healthcare facilities and hotels for victims to access. -

I found this course very informative, giving clarity on human trafficking is, and it's pervasiveness. It stirs
anti-human trafficking activism.
