Fourteen delegates representing eight African nations visited the courtroom of Judge Stacy Ross this week to learn how our courts—along with key service providers—are working to combat human trafficking. Several members of the delegation brought professional backgrounds in law enforcement and the legal field.
The visitors from Global Ties International hailed from Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Ghana, Guinea, and Senegal. Their U.S. tour also included stops in Orlando, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., and El Paso, as they gathered insight into how court systems across the country address the complex issue of human trafficking.
The exchange was a fascinating and meaningful experience for both our judiciary and the visiting delegates, offering an opportunity to share perspectives, ask thoughtful questions, and learn from one another.
