There is growing recognition that sex work, chronic running away, homelessness, shoplifting, substance abuse, domestic violence, and loitering are all potential red flags for sex trafficking. Given this reality, we can play a crucial role in not only identifying victims of sex trafficking but linking them to needed services.
In this CE-based webinar, our presenter will:
- Discuss gender responsive programming.
- Describe the residue of trauma.
- Explain the pathways to sex trafficking.
- List effective retention strategies
- Identify critical re-entry needs.
- Describe barriers to reunification.
This training provides a summary of valuable benefits when offering gender-responsive services to formerly incarcerated women, looking at the pathways into the sex work industry, and pathways out. It gives an overview of how addiction and sex work impacts women differently, and includes best practices for implementing gender-responsive programs.
