International Rescue Committee and Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center’s Voices from the Field: Working with Survivors of Human Trafficking- Successes, Setbacks, and Surprises

It is estimated that 24.9 million people – including adults and children – are trafficked annually around the globe. According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, Florida ranks third in the number of calls for both labor and sex trafficking in the U.S. In Florida, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has anti-trafficking efforts in South Florida through their Miami office and in Florida’s Panhandle with a Tallahassee team. The IRC’s team in the Panhandle works in its Tallahassee office and collaborates with The Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC). During this webinar, the IRC’s Anti-Trafficking Caseworkers and STAC’s Community Services Advocate will delve into the intricacies of trauma-informed services and survivor-centered work with individuals who have experienced sex trafficking, labor trafficking, or both. Presenters will share their experiences and expertise including successes, setbacks, unexpected hurdles, and surprises they have encountered while navigating various systems and working to meet survivors’ needs.
