Back to Episodes218 – How to Strengthen the Human Trafficking Prevention Conversation
Description
Dr. Sandie Morgan and Dave Stachowiak review a 2018 Policy brief produced by the Society for Community Research and Action. It offers a guide to strengthening the human trafficking prevention conversation and allows us to review best practices.
Key Points
-
Raising awareness alone is not sufficient to prevent human trafficking. It must be used as part of a comprehensive prevention strategy rather than in isolation.
-
Encourage human trafficking task forces to place greater emphasis on primary prevention.
- Six Characteristics of Prevention Strategies:
- 1) Strengthening individual knowledge and skills;
- 2) Promoting community education;
- 3) Educating providers;
- 4) Fostering coalitions and networks;
- 5) Changing organizational practices;
- and 6) influencing policy.
-
Facilitate primary prevention efforts by supporting community stakeholders’ collaborative use of data and corresponding approaches for addressing known risk factors. Ensure Justice 2020 is designed to build community stakeholder collaboration!
