On GCC Argentina—Immigration Law: Combatting Modern-Day Slavery—observe, study, and participate in the creation of human trafficking clinics at partner institutions.
Human trafficking, also known as modern-day slavery, is the recruitment, transportation, harboring, or receipt of people for the purposes of commercial sex acts, involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. It currently exists in every state of the United States and in most, if not all, countries across the world. It can be found in many industries: agriculture, spas and massage parlors, hotel work, and domestic service, as well as prostitution.
Learn about trafficking in the context of a broader examination of the history of immigration policy and enforcement in the United States. Consider different approaches to the study of the law and gain research and analytical skills in order to build informed arguments about contemporary policy and legal practice. Significant class time is set aside for practical, hands-on experience, including legal research assignments, class presentations and debates, and activities held jointly with faculty and students from the Human Trafficking Clinic.
In Argentina, you will have the opportunity to observe and collaborate with local law students, law faculty, and prosecutors who are developing systems to expand the prosecution of trafficking cases and to provide services to victims in Argentina.
