SUMMARY:Human Trafficking and Understanding the Dangers of Sextortion
DESCRIPTION:  \nDownload the Presentation_Sextortion \nThis free webinar one of the “Third Friday” community training events hosted by BBCAHT and STAC to inform and engage the North Florida community and beyond.  \nInvestigators have seen a massive surge in the number of cases involving youth being threatened and coerced by adults into sending explicit images online or via social media. This is a crime called sextortion\, punishable under federal and state laws. Sextortion can begin on any computer site\, social media site\, app\, or game where people meet and communicate. Often used by traffickers\, this crime starts when young people believe they are communicating with someone their own age who is interested in a relationship or offering something of value. In these cases\, the criminal claims that they already have a revealing picture or video of a child that they will share if the victim does not send more. The adult will use threats\, gifts\, money\, flattery\, lies\, or other methods to get a young person to send an image. After the criminal has one or more videos or pictures\, they threaten to publish that content\, or they threaten violence\, to get the victim to comply with their demands. The shame\, fear\, and confusion children feel can prevent them from asking for help or reporting the abuse. This program will help caregivers and others with youth to understand how the crime occurs and how to openly discuss online safety with their children. \nPresenter: Marina Anderson\, Regional Human Trafficking Coordinator for NE and NW Regions\, FL Department of Children and Families \nSponsors: STAC in affiliation with Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking and the International Rescue Committee.\nContact: STAC at stac@surviveandthriveadvocacy.org or 850-597-2080 \nAUDIO will be provided through your computer. Attendance will be limited to the first 1\,000 people who join this event.

SUMMARY:The Crossover Between Sex and Labor Trafficking: Elevation Without Segregation

Students who are forced to work long hours\, often before they can complete schoolwork\, or in dangerous jobs are less equipped to achieve in school given the trauma of their forced labor. In this webinar\, we will explore what labor trafficking looks like in the United States and talk to subject matter experts\, individuals with lived experience\, and practitioners about how you can support students who are involved in labor trafficking. \nSpeakers\n\nRuth Ryder\, Deputy Assistant Secretary\, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education\, U.S. Department of Education\nKatherine Kaufka Walts\, Director\, Center for Human Rights of Children\, Loyola University\, Chicago\, IL\nSheri Lochridge Combs\, Senior Program Manager\, Human Trafficking Special Populations\, Covenant House New Orleans\, LA\nYuri Guerrero\, Lived Experience Expert and Advocate\, TX\n\nThis webinar will be recorded and posted to the event page a day after the event.

SUMMARY:Human Trafficking & Refugees: Realities and Responses
DESCRIPTION:The Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking (BBCAHT) and The Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC)\ninvite you to our Monthly 3rd Friday Community Training Program: \nHuman Trafficking & Refugees – Realities and Responses \n \nDownload the presentation: Human Trafficking and Immigration Refugees and Unaccompanied Children \nThis free webinar one of the “Third Friday” community training events hosted by BBCAHT and STAC to inform and engage the North Florida community and beyond. We are happy to extend this invitation to friends and colleagues – please join us! \nIt is no secret that vulnerable populations are much more at risk of being trafficked than others. Two groups that fall into that category are refugees and unaccompanied minors. People who are forced to flee leave behind their homes\, their community support networks\, and often end up socially and culturally isolated. They may lack access to resources\, livelihood opportunities\, and even legal status. These and other factors contribute to making refugees and unaccompanied minors targets for traffickers. Please join us for a discussion about the intersection between refugees and unaccompanied minors and human trafficking. \nPresenters:\nKristina Bailey\, Anti-Trafficking Program Supervisor\, International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Tallahassee;\nKristina Montes\, Child Protection Coordinator\, South Florida\, IRC in Miami;\nCristobal Perez\, Deputy Dir. of Programs & Data\, Coalition for Independent Living Options \nSponsors: STAC in affiliation with Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking and the International Rescue Committee. \nContact: STAC at stac@surviveandthriveadvocacy.org or 850-597-2080 \n  \n\n  \nSTAC needs your support to sustain these important webinars.

SUMMARY:Talking about Human Trafficking:  Guidance for Caregivers and Youth
DESCRIPTION:Download the presentation slides \nThe Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking (BBCAHT) and The Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC) invite you to our Monthly 3rd Friday Community Training Program: \nTalking about Human Trafficking: Guidance for Caregivers and Youth \nThis FREE webinar one of the “Third Friday” community training events hosted by BBCAHT and STAC to inform and engage the North Florida community and beyond. We are happy to extend this invitation to friends and colleagues – please join us! \nMyths and misconceptions about human trafficking are among the top reasons why sex and labor trafficking persist. Youth\, as well as their parents and grandparents can be trafficked – as well be traffickers. Family members who do not know how to recognize the signs and indications that their children or grandchildren are being groomed or targeted by traffickers can also be both charmed and duped by traffickers. Traffickers’ grooming often starts online with social media and gaming apps\, contradicting the prevalent misconception that youth are “snatched” from parking lots or street corners. How should caregivers speak to youth about sex and labor trafficking – to inform and protect them? How can youth help each other to be safe from traffickers? How can youth be aware of whether adults in their lives are being groomed and trafficked? Presenters will cover these and many more issues\, including new tools and helpful resources. \nPRESENTERS: Charlie Jackson\, Regional Advocate\, Whole Child Leon – ODON; Graciela Marquina\, Community Services Advocate\, STAC; Jamie Rosseland\, Human Trafficking Subject Matter Expert; Kyya Smith\, Account Coordinator\, SalterMitchell PR \nSponsors: STAC in affiliation with Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking and the International Rescue Committee. Contact: STAC at stac@surviveandthriveadvocacy.org or 850-597-2080 \nAUDIO will be provided through your computer. Attendance is limited.

SUMMARY:Talking Circle Series: Supporting Survivors of Human Trafficking in Tribal Communities
DESCRIPTION:Most victims of human trafficking do not self-identify or seek help because of the profound and prolonged trauma they experience. Traffickers often deceive victims with false promises of love\, a good job\, or a stable life\, then lure or force them into trafficking; a trafficker may even look like an intimate partner. Recognizing the signs of trafficking and knowing how to offer support is critical in helping a victim heal. Join a panel of American Indians and Alaska Natives as they discuss identifying\, reaching\, and supporting the healing of potential victims of trafficking. Listen to their insight as they answer participant’s questions and share information about enriching cultural perspective and understanding for anti-trafficking work\, recognizing the signs of human trafficking\, and accessing non-competitive federal funding to support Tribes in their victim services work. \n REGISTER

SUMMARY:A SANE Approach to Human Trafficking Cases
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jane Anderson\, Attorney Advisor at AEquitas and Kim Nash\, SANE \nSexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) are invaluable collaborative partners in a prosecutor’s response to human trafficking. Victims of sex and labor trafficking are at risk of serious injury\, as well as short- and long-term physical and psychological health consequences\, and SANEs provide much-needed medical care to these patients. Trafficking investigations and prosecutions are also enhanced by the addition of SANEs to a multidisciplinary team. SANEs document injury\, collect evidence\, and provide critical insight into medical issues and survivor responses to trauma that can educate criminal justice practitioners and jurors alike. \n REGISTER

SUMMARY:Sexual Violence in the Lives of Indigenous People with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 3 million people in the United States identify as “American Indian or Alaskan Native” (2010 U.S. Census). Due to systemic and historical oppression\, individuals within these communities experience high rates of sexual assault and have high rates of disability. Indigenous survivors of sexual assault who also have a disability encounter unique barriers in their healing journey. During this webinar\, Olga Trujillo of Activating Change will be joined by Nicole Matthews of the Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition to discuss these barriers\, strategies for providing support and opportunities for change. \n REGISTER
