The Sexual Violence Justice Institute at MNCASA is hosting a webinar, Without a Disclosure: One Community’s Approach to Addressing Sex Trafficking of Minors. The session will be held June 26th from 12-1:30 pm CT.
From the announcement:
…How can local sexual assault response teams effectively address this form of trafficking when victims are so often invisible and misidentified?
Minnesota’s Twin Cities metropolitan area has been identified by the FBI as one of the 13th largest centers in the country for minor sex trafficking. A comprehensive effort has been underway to address trafficking in Minnesota through public policy reforms; enforcement, justice, and public health initiatives; and increased services to victims. This webinar will focus primarily on the specific approach taken by one Minnesota county and its multidisciplinary efforts to address the trafficking of minors and assist victimized youth to safety. Specific intervention strategies and highlights of a local case applying investigative techniques that did not depend on victim disclosures will also be featured.
