Trafficking: Considerations & Recommendations for Battered Women’s Advocates

Added Wednesday, September 02, 2015 by Action Alliance

Advocacy for trafficked women differs from that provided to battered women and although advocates are accustomed to working with legal and social service systems, this work challenges the way they typically interact with systems and collaborate with other agencies or providers. These considerations and recommendations will assist programs already working with trafficked victims or programs thinking about doing so. Although boys and men are also trafficked and there are other ways women are exploited, this paper only focuses on women and girls brought in as a group for sex-trafficking.

Transformative Justice Workbook

Added Wednesday, June 12, 2019 by Action Alliance

This workbook was collaboratively created by staff of the Virginia Anti-Violence Project (VAVP) and the Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence Action Alliance (Action Alliance) after 6+ months of conversations and a desire to engage our communities around Transformative Justice and how we both respond to and prevent violence outside of state-based systems that target and criminalize people of color ( particularly black people and communities), queer and trans people, poor folks, immigrants and undocumented communities, disabled folks, and other marginalized communities.
