“We’ve hosted CEO breakfasts to talk about this, the census, and other data because it’s fact-driven,” said Laura Murillo, Ed.D., President and CEO of the Houston Hispanic Chamber. “These are not opinions. It’s information that will help them as they make decisions about hiring, for their investments, for opportunities. That is a win-win situation.”
“As human trafficking, we talk about sex trafficking and labor trafficking and so when you talk about industries, whether it’s domestic servitude, whether is construction,” she said. “When it comes to sex trafficking, whether it’s strip clubs or massage parlors, It’s a wide issue so when you’re trying to pinpoint numbers it’s difficult to do that."
