Description
Session Six: Working With Trafficking Survivors: Trauma-Informed Representation and Policy Advocacy (1 hr.)
This session, experts bring you a complement to the rest of the conference’s focus on legal and procedural issues. What do survivors of trafficking want you to know about how best to work with them on advocacy – both in individual cases and efforts to seek systemic change? How can we make our practices welcoming and respectful of the survivor’s experience and decision to come forward? And what are the larger policy goals of trafficking survivors? Anti-trafficking advocates from the policy world will share their thoughts about these questions to ground our learning from the past two days.
Speakers:
- Bart James Bachman, Associate Director of Trafficking Services at the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI).
- Rafael Bautista, Expert consultant with lived experience, member of US Advisory Council on Human Trafficking.
- Emma Ecker, Senior Policy Specialist, Freedom Network USA (FNUSA)
- Cristina Velez, Legal & Policy Director, ASISTA.
