Through the building Collaborative Responses to Trafficking Victims of Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault project, FUTURES provides training and technical assistance to organizations seeking to work collaboratively to effectively respond to human trafficking in their communities. Our interactive training opportunities bring together professionals from survivor support agencies, immigrant rights, violence prevention, and law enforcement in order to advance best practices in preventing trafficking and ensuring self-determination and wellness for survivors.

Intimate partner violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and human trafficking are on the rise during COVID-19 because many families and survivors are staying home, or are isolated from support systems. The resources on this page are intended to support the needs of trafficking survivors and to support human trafficking, domestic violence and sexual assault programs, community health centers, workplaces, and other community programs and organizations in their work to serve trafficking survivors during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

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.

Human trafficking is a growing global issue that can be difficult to address because it includes several different forms of abuse and exploitation. Due to under-reporting traffickers are often able to exploit children and their families in a vicious cycle of abuse.

This webinar highlights collaborative work undertaken by multi-disciplinary teams across the U.S. to support domestic and sexual violence and human trafficking (DV/SA/HT) survivors.
