2024 ICADV Fall Conference

Human trafficking is a crime that often overlaps with domestic violence and sexual violence but can also have distinct differences. In this presentation, myths and facts about human trafficking will be discussed. After reviewing the definitions of labor and sex trafficking, the similarities and differences between sexual violence, domestic violence, and human trafficking will be explored through case studies. Attendees will then review evidence-based methods of working with survivors of trafficking, with emphasis given to dynamics of sexual, gender, and ethnic minorities. Finally, attendees will be provided with resources around the state for addressing human trafficking in their communities.
