Humanatis Trafficking Publications
Human trafficking has received the most attention at the
international and national levels but there is much that can and must be done
at the local government level. Officials and residents in cities and
towns know best what is happening in their communities and how best to address
problems in their midst. Coupled with its responsibilities for public
safety, public health and the local economy, local governments are perfectly
situated to make a tremendous impact on human trafficking.
The overall purpose of the Humanatis guidebook series is to provide practical
resources that inspire action, enhance skills and immediately advance
anti-trafficking efforts. The series is designed for professionals in a
position to confront human trafficking such as law enforcement, attorneys,
service providers and government officials as well as their collective
coalitions and task forces.

Reducing
the Impact of Bias, Power and Culture When Assisting Trafficked Persons: A
Guide for Service Providers |
|
|
|
A case manager or service provider may be assigned a trafficked client of any gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, language, education and employability at any given moment. Additionally, a trafficked client has endured an extreme loss of freedom, power and respect and may not be understood in a foreign country and culture. It is a considerable task, therefore, to create a provider-client relationship that encourages the client to make decisions consistent with their values, beliefs and culture, so critical to their wellbeing and future success. This guidebook and workbook is full of self-reflection exercises, case studies, discussions and tips to help you minimize biases, share power and create cross-cultural partnerships with clients. The end result is empowered clients who select the most appropriate and necessary services, moving from crisis to stability. It is a resource you can continually come back to in order to evaluate your client relationships and that supervisors can use to support the work of their staff. 38 pages. English.

the Trust of Your Victim Witness: A Guide for Law Enforcement Working Human
Trafficking Cases

Law enforcement routinely cites gaining the victim-witness’ trust as the most difficult obstacle in trafficking cases. Authors Kelly Heinrich & Jennifer Podkul pooled their ten years of experience assisting trafficked persons in working with law enforcement to help you overcome that obstacle. They listened to victim-witness’ concerns, fears and reactions to law enforcement and the criminal justice process. Together with the victim-witnesses they then discovered ways in which to alleviate those concerns and help them learn to trust again. This guidebook is a culmination of their work, which presents various techniques - equally justice oriented and victim-centered - to help you gain and safeguard your victim-witness’ trust. The techniques are helpful to any law enforcement official, whether new or experienced, working on human trafficking cases. Incorporating this guidebook’s techniques into your daily work will help you gain trust, obtain the information you need and make your investigation as efficient as possible. 41 pages. English.
