Omaha Strip Clubs: Activists against human trafficking urge legislature to explore the problem
… Overall, there has been a rise in human trafficking victims in the United States,” said Joy Panigabutra-Roberts, an assistant professor in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries. Panigabutra-Roberts works with several other professors for UNL’s annual Human Trafficking Conference.
Panigabutra-Roberts listed locations of recently reported cases: Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, D.C., and Omaha.
