Description:
Human trafficking and domestic and sexual violence victims/survivors are experiencing increased isolation and danger as a result of social distancing measures during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

This webinar will discuss the ways in which advocacy programs and collaborative partners are shifting their in-person and virtual approaches to meet the needs of trafficking survivors. The webinar will also identify tools and approaches for anti-human trafficking collaborations or task forces to expand their partnerships with health care and workforce development partners, to enhance safety and wellness for survivors.
