Human Trafficking: Innovative Responses Created By and For Youth and Indigenous Communities
This webinar spotlights two innovative human trafficking (HT) interventions: Aura Freedom’s Peer Prevention Project and the Ontario Native Women’s Association’s Indigenous Anti-Human Trafficking Liaison Program.
Marissa Kokkoros presented on the Peer Prevention Project, an educational program that works to prevent human trafficking and sexual exploitation by advancing equity with marginalized communities and using knowledge, resources, and support for empowerment. Workshops are designed and created ‘for youth – by youth’ for audiences such as youth, frontline workers, educators, parents, and other caregivers.
Collin Graham presented on the Indigenous Anti-Human Trafficking Liaison Program which provides survivor-focused and localized responses to Human Trafficking created by and for Indigenous people. The program develops and implements culturally grounded presentations, educational materials, trauma-informed tools and resources, as well as, awareness and prevention tools specific to Indigenous HT for communities that are created with invaluable guidance from survivors.
