Airline Ambassador International Sex Trafficking Training


Training for workers in the airline industry to recognize human trafficking and to understand the protocol if  they see risk held at the Double Tree Hotel at 44th St and McDowell
TRUST AZ and Deb Carstens from the Carstens Family Funds hosted a luncheon wherein Nancy Rivard, Sandra Fiorini, Delphia (I don’t remember her last name), and Petra Hensley from Airline Ambassadors International spoke about sex trafficking as it pertains to the airline industry. They were joined by Deborah Sigmund from Innocents at Risk. This training is intended to equip airline professionals, particularly flight attendants, with knowledge to recognize potential trafficking situations and the protocol for intervention. The approximately 150 attendees included representatives from 10 airlines, ICE representatives, and Aviation Directors Tammi Fisher from Sky Harbor Airport and (I forget his name) from Mesa-Gateway Airport. This training has potential to be extremely beneficial to anti-trafficking efforts.
I don't remember the name of the lady on the left. However, next on the left is Sandra, then Nancy, Deborah, Petra, and Delphia.
Airline Ambassadors International provides training all of the country. Angels at 30,000 ft shared this information about another training.
