Tommy talks to Scott Vaughan, founder of Unbranded

Many human trafficking survivors are coerced to incur consumer debt at the behest of their traffickers. This destroys the survivor's credit and imposes significant barriers to housing, education and other important resources. The new federal Debt Bondage Repair Act provides a mechanism for survivors of trafficking to block this adverse information from their credit reports.  Questions? Inquiries about program materials? Contact Trenon Browne at tbrowne@bostonbar.org This webinar will provide an overview of the federal law, its accompanying regulations, and potential pathways to implementation in Massachusetts, including the critical role to be played by government agencies in enhancing access to this process. The speakers will also address ways that legal counsel, advocates and social service providers can assist survivors in accessing this important protection in the near term.    Additionally, this program will be relevant for government lawyers, pro bono programs and all lawyers and service providers who work with survivors of human trafficking.

Truth is difficult to hear, but survivors tell us that so far we have failed. Survey results from the first national survivor study reveals that "systems"  have largely failed survivors, including those that were involved prior to their trafficking experience, while involved, and after their trafficking experience.

In episode four of our Human Trafficking Research season, Just Science sat down with Christina Melander, a research public health analyst at RTI International, to discuss the ongoing role of human trafficking survivors in advising and guiding systems professionals. Human trafficking systems professionals, such as researchers and policy makers, may value the opinions of those with formal academic credentials; however, real human trafficking survivors possess the experience to contribute meaningful expert information as well. Engaging in these conversations may be beneficial for survivors by providing an avenue for healing, leadership, and professional growth. Listen along as Christina discusses the ongoing effort to involve human trafficking survivors in research, the ethical challenges of survivor engagement, and her current research projects involving vulnerable populations. This episode is funded by RTI International's Justice Practice Area.Some content in this podcast may be considered sensitive and may evoke emotional responses, or may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

Back in 2019, the United States reported nearly 11,500 human trafficking cases with the most common type being sex trafficking. Many of these predators target children and a local organization is working to make sure survivors have a path forward. Kristen Weiss joined News On 6 at 4 to talk more about "The Demand Project" and how we can help their mission.

In this episode, I talk to Esther Flores, founder of 1DivineLine2Health, an organization that works with victims and survivors of human trafficking.

Foreign-born survivors of human trafficking applying for U.S. visas have two options: T or U visas. T visas are specific to sex trafficking survivors, and U visas include sex trafficking but encompass a wider variety of crimes. Cooperation with law enforcement is a requirement for each visa application. There are exceptions to the rule of cooperation. A child, for example, doesn't have to cooperate. Adults must prove their level of trauma is “sufficient” to merit exception. This law creates a tension: on one hand, survivors need help. On the other hand, law enforcement needs help to crack down on trafficking. How much should be required of sex trafficking survivors? We hear from McKenzie Harker, staff attorney at the Victim Rights Law Center.

This is the second hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Friday, December 10, 2021.

"As a physician working with human trafficking survivors, I have become accustomed to those with a history of surviving violence. But the patient in question is in my general primary care practice. This should highlight to care providers that there may be many more patients out there who have been exposed to trauma in their past, and we need to take this into account. One way to be inclusive is to incorporate the substance abuse and mental health services administration principles of trauma-informed care into practice." Andrea Reilly is an internal medicine-pediatrics physician. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "The challenge of trauma-informed care in the age of COVID." (https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/07/the-challenge-of-trauma-informed-care-in-the-age-of-covid.html) This episode is sponsored by The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX).
