Major global events like the FIFA World Cup create dynamic environments that can unintentionally amplify the risk and visibility of human trafficking. Learn how trafficking operates through subtle patterns of control, coercion and financial manipulation, often hidden within otherwise ordinary activity.
The session highlights how combining human observation (behavioural, situational and environmental indicators) with financial intelligence (transaction monitoring, network analysis and typologies) can reveal critical early warning signs for optimal investigative responses.
