Familial Trafficking & Out of Home Care
Khalila Riga | September 17 | 9:45-10:45 am EDT
Topic: Conceptual | Knowledge Level: Beginner
Familial trafficking looks different, has different outcomes, and needs different interventions than what is considered “traditional” human trafficking. In this session attendees will consider literature where the variations occur, and be given resources to try and address familial trafficking in their communities. A survivor’s case study will be given and several resources on familial trafficking vulnerabilities and outcomes will be discussed. Offender profiles and parental warning signs and contributing factors considered in a broad lens of trafficking and vulnerabilities will be given. General applicable information about working with youth and key signs of risk will be presented as well. Familial trafficking is more prevalent and more complicated than typically perceived. In this session, attendees will be equipped with resources to begin incorporating this reality into their work. Learning to distinguish the unique factors associated with familial trafficking can support wholistic service provision and comprehensive awareness in our communities.
Presentation Objectives:
• Discuss the risk factors in familial trafficking
• Present a survivor case study
• Describe parental risk/familial perpetrator risks
• Explain the differences in “traditional” human trafficking narratives
