Thoughts and analysis from our founders and guest contributors that reflect on the latest research, examine opportunities and challenges within the anti-trafficking industry, and cast a vision for the future of the anti-trafficking movement.
Is Best Practice Possible in Anti-Trafficking Work?
Is best practice possible in anti-trafficking work?
We must abandon the idea of simple, scalable solutions and instead improve and scale the anti-trafficking movements’ ability to recognize the different types of situations, environments, and problems that are encountered every day.
Survivor Inclusion in Anti-Trafficking Work
What is the ideal framework for including the perspectives and lived experiences of survivors and communities at risk as we determine the future path of the movement?
Thinking About Research on Survivor Stigma
The results of a 10 year longitudinal study called The Butterfly Study, that tracked the experiences of human trafficking survivors after they were rescued, as they spent time in shelters and reintegrated into the community were just published in the academic journal The Dignity Journal
There is an incredible amount of information to unpack, analyze and think about in terms of strategic implications for the anti-trafficking movement in this study.
Our Founding Vision
We believe that the anti-trafficking industry must commit to addressing the societal conditions that drive exploitation, human trafficking, and modern slavery. We want to see the focus shift from volunteers rescuing survivors to skilled professionals who are members of local communities working with their communities to ensure that no one is vulnerable to exploitation, trafficking, and modern slavery.
