Diagnosis: Trafficked (Medical Personnel Training)

A 2014 study on the health consequences of sex trafficking revealed that 88% of victims came into contact with medical personnel while they were being trafficked, without identifying as a victim or being recognized as one*. How could this happen? Rarely will a victim proactively report they are being trafficked and they won’t always look or act like a victim, based on the perceptions of an untrained eye. With properly trained medical professionals, this presents a huge opportunity to provide a gateway to freedom for victims. Diagnosis: Trafficked trains medical professionals on how to recognize a sex trafficking victim and what to do next. They learn: • What sex trafficking is and how it operates. • How to detect the indicators of a trafficking victim. • Established protocols to report suspicions. • How to interact with a victim in a non-threatening manner.
