Training Description
This training will provide the historical context of human trafficking. Participants will learn about the historical oppression and trauma of ethnic groups that are over-represented in the foster care and juvenile justice systems and how this provides the backdrop of human trafficking. This training is essential given that these ethnic groups are disproportionately impacted by foster care and human trafficking. The training will also discuss implicit biases, privilege, and racism. Participants will learn how to approach system involved youth, their caregivers, and communities affected in culturally competent ways.
Learning Objectives
1. Participants will learn how race intersects with human trafficking
2. Participants will learn to describe the historical context of slavery with African Americans and it’s relation to the disproportionate number of African American youth in foster care who are trafficked
3. Participants will learn to describe the historical context of labor and sex trafficking with the Latino population
4. Participants will learn at least 1 strategy to engage system involved youth in a culturally competent manner.
