Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has announced a new partnership with her office and the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona to launch a first-of-its-kind Train the Trainer program aimed at creating awareness and preventing human trafficking and missing and murdered Indigenous people in tribal communities.
“Tribes have elevated the issues of human trafficking and missing or murdered Indigenous people to my office, and I plan to address these issues directly,” Mayes said in a statement. “Our goal will be to increase awareness to help with prevention of human trafficking and move toward healing.”

The training program will focus on awareness and set the foundation for prevention. The program will be offered at no cost to tribal communities across the state, including schools and businesses.
