Database
Global Extremist Symbols
Published by the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, this database contains a compilation of global hate and extremist symbols. Extremist groups collaborate with each other across countries, sharing hateful narratives, tactical playbooks, and symbols to represent their cause. This database is a tool for identifying the whereabouts, narratives, and violent acts of these extremist groups and is intended to be used by law enforcement, tech companies, policymakers, media, advocates, as well as the general public. Various information is listed regarding each symbol in the directory, including photos, descriptions, associated ideologies, and the location(s) where the symbol was found. So far, the database contains symbols from over 40 different countries and over 20 associated ideologies. It should be noted that this database does not contain a comprehensive list, as new extremist groups are constantly emerging.

NW3C Webinar
Increasing Law Enforcement Effectiveness in Human Trafficking and Migrant Victimization from the Survivor’s Perspective
Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance and hosted by the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), this webinar will discuss the suspected rise in child sexual exploitation. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children estimates that there are over 13,000 illicit massage parlors. Due to cultural stigmas, ethnic communities often fail to report these crimes which makes it harder to identify victims. The purpose of this presentation is to address the impact of cultural competency in victim services by understanding different cultural needs and beliefs. Using case studies, the presentation will also discuss how to serve youth victims and their families from these communities more effectively.
When: Wednesday, July 26, 2023
Time: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m., ET
