Hi Craig,

Police departments are definitely on the front lines of this. The FBI, US Attorney, and others related to law enforcement and the DOJ are very much on the front lines. In the US, most organizations do not go in and “rescue” people, but work with these types of organizations to assist victims once they are out, or help victims who are able to leave without assistance from law enforcement.

Good luck!

Comment on Human trafficking in Connecticut – what do we know? by Sarah Eisele-Dyrli

Hi Martha,

I will email you, but wanted to just reply – you should get in touch with the International Institute Human Trafficking Project. You may not be able to work with victims, but they may either have opportunities for you, or may be able to connect you where there are opportunities.

Alternately, you don’t need to volunteer with an organization! There are a lot of Spanish-speaking immigrants in Connecticut, and those who are not documented are especially vulnerable to being preyed upon by traffickers. You could go to this website and order or print out resources to help people learn about human trafficking.

I’ll email you also, but good luck! Please let us know what you end up doing!
Sarah

Looking forward to the Feb. event at the Stowe Center. Great job, Sarah! I posted the announcement on the CTCAT FB page and will see if we can’t get it onto the website announcements.

Thanks for stopping by, Jacqueline! I checked out your website, and you’ve got some great resources and information up there! Your goal to “Encourage coordination between anti-trafficking organizations and interested companies and volunteers to maximize impact, efficiency and cost-effectiveness” seems so important these days, with the proliferation of organizations working on this issue. I’d be interested to learn how you’re going about doing this!

Have you considered linking organizations who address human trafficking by the nature of their work (i.e. child service organizations) with those who exist for the sole purpose of addressing human trafficking? I’m hoping to see those types of links made. Both do such different work and have such different experiences, and can learn a lot from each other. If they don’t link and coordinate, I fear that slavery will continue unabated!

I’ll post your organization on the site. I looked at your bio, and your work is fascinating.

I’m also interested in what type of education you do beyond the website. It looks like your organization is a foundation – do you provide grants for education or provide in-kind “grants” to do education yourselves? It’s not entirely clear from your site.

Best,
Sarah
