Tomorrow, Friday, July 30, is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons! We’re celebrating with a special emphasis on raising up survivor voices. It’s essential to include survivor voices in all aspects – from leadership in intervention and aftercare services, to crafting policies and procedures with a victim-centered approach to best serve the needs of trafficking survivors. Taking their voices as our lead helps prevent retraumatization and helps ensure proper care in pursuing justice.
