In its inaugural episode, All Things Judicial highlights the North Carolina Human Trafficking Commission and its mission to prevent human trafficking in North Carolina. Guest hosted by North Carolina Human Trafficking Commission Executive Director Christine Long, the episode focuses on the role of the Commission and delves into the grim realities of human trafficking in our state, signs to look for, and how to prevent this horrific crime.

“It becomes easy to feel like your community is safe and that you are safe from [human trafficking] but you are not safe and neither is anyone in your family,” said Executive Director of Children’s Advocacy Centers of North Carolina Deana Joy in Episode 1 of All Things Judicial. “We have to shift our perspective and realize that it’s going to take the community at-large to make an impact.”
