Discuss how victim assistance organizations play a critical role in responding to victims of human trafficking.

What will be an ideal response?


By working with local, state, and national law enforcement agencies, many organizations can provide a wide variety of services that include providing safety, food and shelter, training and education, and legal services. As our knowledge of the problem continues to grow, so does the realization that we need more services to help those who are trafficked. Human trafficking has transformed the nature of crime victimization, which is requiring the field of victim services to respond with programs and practices that are informed and adequate to meet the needs of such a hidden population, who even when receiving help remain vulnerable. This is particularly important when working with undocumented persons who often do everything in their power to avoid contact with the criminal justice system and agencies associated with it for fear of arrest or deportation.
