Four survivors of trafficking co-authored this report with staff from the National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC).</p> <p>In 2025, the National Center for Victims of Crime assembled a group of individuals with personal experience in human trafficking and incarceration. One key takeaway from this group was the importance of recognizing and identifying signs of trafficking among justice system professionals. This understanding is crucial for improving responses to crimes that occur within the context of trafficking.</p> <p>Additionally, the group highlighted the necessity of eliminating common barriers faced during the process of reentry into the community. They emphasized the value of implementing trauma-informed approaches at every point of contact within the system.</p> <p>With the insights from this group of experts, NCVC has identified several practical strategies that can be applied before, during, and after incarceration. "By basing our approaches and solutions on the firsthand experiences of those who confront the challenges and barriers to accessing services, we can create more effective pathways for these individuals to thrive." This report would not be possible without the contributions of Elizabeth Jimenez, Tanisha Murden, Elizabeth Quiroz, and Kathryn Walsh. </p> <p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-associated-links field--type-link field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Associated Links</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://victimsofcrime.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Closing-the-Revolving-Door_Building-Freedom-and-Justice-for-Trafficking-Survivors-12-1.pdf" target="_blank">Closing the Revolving Door: Building Freedom and Justice for Trafficking Surviv…</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://victimsofcrime.org/reports-3/" target="_blank">Explore other reports and publications from NCVC</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-material-categories field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Material Categories</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/collaboration-bridge-building" hreflang="und">Collaboration / Bridge Building</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/trauma-informed-approach" hreflang="und">Trauma Informed Approach</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/criminal-justice" hreflang="und">Criminal Justice</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/human-trafficking" hreflang="und">Human Trafficking</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/resilience-healing" hreflang="und">Resilience / Healing</a></div> </div> </div> Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:01:52 +0000 pbranco 13738 at https://vawnet.org
