Human Trafficking Prevention Toolkit

Human trafficking prevention has at times been framed primarily as a criminal justice priority or been siloed from other forms of violence prevention. As experts in sexual violence prevention, NCCASA recognizes sex trafficking as a form of sexual violence and the connection of sexual violence to all forms of human trafficking. NCCASA is pleased to present the Human Trafficking Prevention Toolkit. In this toolkit, you'll find the Human Trafficking Prevention Overview, an overview of what human trafficking is and the public health approach to violence prevention, an exploration of the historical context that informs current frameworks and gaps, tips for effective upstream prevention, and strategies for incorporating a harm reduction lens into your human trafficking prevention work, as well as critical considerations in selecting a prevention strategy.
