Trafficking: Considerations & Recommendations for Battered Women’s Advocates

Added Wednesday, September 02, 2015 by Action Alliance

Advocacy for trafficked women differs from that provided to battered women and although advocates are accustomed to working with legal and social service systems, this work challenges the way they typically interact with systems and collaborate with other agencies or providers. These considerations and recommendations will assist programs already working with trafficked victims or programs thinking about doing so. Although boys and men are also trafficked and there are other ways women are exploited, this paper only focuses on women and girls brought in as a group for sex-trafficking.
