Special Topics in Trafficking: The Victims Perspective

The Victims’ Persepctive module will take a comprehensive look at trafficking from the victims’ perspective. It will focus on the lesser recognized victims of trafficking, males and LGBT youth. These populations have specific risk factors that increase their likelihood of victimization and decrease the opportunities for services and prevention. In this module, we will also discuss how advocates can best attempt to understand how a victim’s perspective of their exploitation will impact them during and after leaving “the life.” The speaker will address resiliency of victims during their exploitation and how they can move forward to empowerment. Additional topics include how public perception/stigma of victims impacts how they see themselves and examples of successful recovery and restoration programs.
