The goal of this toolkit is to offer a comprehensive assessment of how agencies and advocates can improve the services provided to survivors of the related and often co-occurring traumas of domestic violence\, sexual assault\, and human trafficking. By presenting an overview of human trafficking and its relationship to domestic violence and sexual assault the toolkit offers advocates the ability to better plan for\, recognize\, and support survivors of human trafficking\, whom they are often already serving\, although sometimes unknowingly. The toolkit supports intersectionality\, survivor-centered\, and trauma-informed practices that prioritize the reduction of harm. \nOur presenters will lead a brief discussion about the toolkit and how it might be used to assist with advocacy for Human Trafficking survivors. The toolkit is free to those interested\, and can be downloaded through the following link:\nHuman Trafficking Toolkit for Domestic and Sexual Violence Agencies \n   —————————————————————————-\n  Meet our Presenters:\n \nBENITA ROBINSON serves as the Director of Crisis Services and Education for Avalon Healing Center (formerly Wayne County SAFE).  In this role\, she oversees the First Responder and Human Trafficking programs and specializes in ensuring quality\, comprehensive\, trauma-informed services to survivors of sexual violence.  She is also involved with outreach\, education\, and training efforts around topics related to sexual violence such as myths and facts\, trauma responses\, trauma-informed\, and survivor-centered care\, and working with survivors from marginalized communities.
