	AntiTrafficking Initiative

This Human Trafficking and Anti-Trafficking Initiative is a collaborative effort with researchers, community agencies, domestic violence agencies, and key community allies who are concerned with increasing the responsiveness to the needs of Human Trafficking Victims. These are the many variables which need to be considered in providing quality legal and human services to trafficking victims:

Community Outreach and Education	Immigration Legal Status	Prosecution of Perpetrators
Professional Outreach and Education	Cultural Responsiveness of Service Providers	Sex and Labor Trafficking
Law Enforcement Outreach and Education	Protection and Safety of Victims	Domestic Violence

Trauma, Domestic Violence, and Human Trafficking

Case managers, religious, licensed clinical therapists, and community outreach workers need to increase their understanding of these 3 variables when providing services from the beginning, middle, and the end to a Human Trafficking Victim Case.

After 6 months of interviewing, and meeting with human service providers, religious, and law enforcement, it appears that the various human service providers need to learn more about how these variables intersect in direct service, community outreach, clinical practice, and law enforcement.
