Labor Trafficking in Missouri
Knowledge about labor trafficking (LT) lags behind extant understanding about sex trafficking due to the ability of LT to exist within legal frameworks, and it impacts some of the most oppressed and marginalized groups of people within our society. While the anti-trafficking movement is developing better understanding about LT broadly, nuances around the regions and industries in which LT exists, and the unique needs experienced by survivors have…
Assets and Logic
Since knowledge about human trafficking has increased over the last 20 years, so have our understandings about interventions, survivor empowerment, and attention to intersectional forces that lead to trafficking vulnerability and exiting barriers experienced by survivors. An area lacking in such advancement, however, relates to collaborative community responses (CCRs), which have notably increased evidenced-based, effective responses in other pub…

Findings from this study revealed that entrapment factors and shared common characteris…

Human Trafficking
With the advent of a relatively newly recognized social phenomenon, human trafficking, there are dozens of agencies providing awareness and training materials on the subject. Many of these materials are available online through these agencies and are free to use. However, little is known about the effectiveness of these training and public-awareness materials, their pedagogical application, or if knowledge about human trafficking is increased bec…
Supportive exits
Despite the prevalence of agencies serving sex workers in the United States, there are few program evaluations of supportive services. Phenomenological methods were used to explore the lived experiences of 13 sex workers receiving supportive services in a major city in the American Southwest. Results from this study suggest that clients find the trusted and supportive community within the agency especially helpful. Length of time with the agency …
