Abstract

This report accomplishes two goals. First, it documents the study’s findings in an effort to increase understanding about how human trafficking survivors receive services from domestic and sexual violence organizations. Second, it documents lessons learned for organizations that are looking to expand into this area of service. Data from this study is used to answer the following questions: How are domestic and sexual violence organizations serving survivors of human trafficking? What are the unique needs and strengths of survivors of human trafficking? What are opportunities and barriers to providing services for survivors of human trafficking? What are “lessons learned” from organizations who serve survivors of human trafficking?...The organizations that participated represent 23 states across the country. [CVRL Note: Minnesota had thirteen organizations respond, the most organizations from one state.] (Author Text)
