100%. We could have had shit in place to be a better society. People asked for it, people marched, people begged. No matter how much video, no matter how much evidence. Instead, it's just "Fund police" over and over. Antiblackness is the fulcrum still, always, here.

The resource includes pages of practical guidance and language to help you make the shift from red flags to real life. Check it out at nationalsurvivornetwork.org/document/red...
Training can focus instead on:  - Identifying barriers to survivors accessing resources. - Engaging and incorporating a diverse range of survivor expertise. - Increasing specialized training to build skills and awareness for partners. - Building community relationships and increasing service options for victim safety.  Ask yourself: “How am I framing the most current context of trafficking?”Slide shows three screenshots from a section of practical guidance and language to help you make the shift to more compassionate, effective, victim-centered care. Old framework includes questions like "Have you ever had sex in exchange for food or shelter? Does an employer control your wages, housing, or transportation? New Framework asks questions like: How have you been caring for yourself when you're hungry or need somewhere to stay? Do you understand your rights as a worker? Would you like me to explain them? The Response Enhancement is: Ensure basic needs are met. Provide information on worker and/or victim rights and identify resources.

We're excited to finally be able to share a new resource from the OVC HTC that we were honored to partner on. Check out the resource library of our website to see the full resource! nationalsurvivornetwork.org/document/red...
New Resource: Shifting Current Practices in the Anti-Trafficking Field: The "Red Flags" Framework (developed through a partnership with OVC HTC). Available in the resource library of our website (link in bio). Swipe for highlights!Solely using red flags:  - Leads to training that can have negative impacts and misidentification of survivors. - Fails to build intentional relationships with those we hope to serve. - Sees people as a checklist rather than a whole person. - Is not an adequate screening or assessment methodology to use.  Red flags are rooted in discriminatory assumptions that rely on stereotypes which are foundationally racist, gendered, and poverty-shaming in nature.
