Q5. What support or resources are available for minors to have their exploitative images taken down (including adults with images shared when they were a minor)? #CAPM23

Fear of being blamed is the biggest reason why children don’t report abuse. As professionals we must create safe spaces for them to feel comfortable to talk, and never blame them for what has happened to them #CAPM23
Q6. What holds children/teens back from reporting exploitation and how can we as professionals help them feel more comfortable? #CAPM23

If we don’t talk about child sexual abuse, it won’t stop. #CAPM23

A8 The AHLA Foundation makes sure to use examples of #humantrafficking that people may not expect – like familial trafficking, trafficking of men and boys, etc. in our #NoRoomForTrafficking materials and resources. #HTAD2023
Q8 We’ve all encountered a great deal of misinformation about human trafficking and how it happens, particularly on social media, over the last few years. What are some of the misconceptions you have been faced with and what has your response been? #HTAD2023
Casey Jones retweeted
Traffickers recognize that creating relationships, community, and providing resources are easy ways to recruit, groom, and establish dependence. Once those tactics have been employed, it is much more difficult for those exploited to leave their situation. #HTAD2023
Q3 Human trafficking is a crime that impacts vulnerable people/communities at a higher rate. How do traffickers take advantage of these vulnerabilities? #HTAD2023
Casey Jones retweeted
Awareness! Awareness! Awareness! People don't know what they don't know.
We hope that through key partnerships we can increase awareness so that organizations like ours are national not only by reach, but by engagement as well! #HTAD2023
Q9 As a field we have struggled to raise awareness and increase resources and funding for survivors of labor trafficking. How do we change that? #HTAD2023

A8 We have seen an increase in confusion between human trafficking and human smuggling. We have introduced resources explaining myth versus fact, and specific industry-based toolkits to help confront these misconceptions head on. Learn more: dhs.gov/blue-campaign/myths-… #HTAD2023

A6: Many social media and gaming platforms have chat and voice-chat features that allow participants to interact with other participants. Online predators take advantage of these features to groom children. Our online safety guides: ecpatusa.org/onlinesafetytip…

THIS. Can’t say it enough - if we want to prevent trafficking, we have to make sure young people’s most basic needs, like safe and stable housing are met.
Traffickers target unhoused youth.
Our research shows that 68% of youth who had either been trafficked or engaged in survival sex had done so while homeless.

A5: It’s important to think about long-term assistance for children who have experienced trafficking, and the barriers and challenges that come with it. #HTAD2023 #childtrafficking #sextrafficking
Q5 Children being sold for sex can face barriers that prevent them from seeking help. Likewise, children no longer being trafficked face challenges moving on. What are some of the barriers and challenges you’ve encountered? #HTAD2023
Casey Jones retweeted
Children and youth experiencing homelessness are especially vulnerable to trafficking.
They are easier to lure making them a prime target for traffickers.

A misconception is that only women get trafficked. This keeps people from reporting and identifying others who are being victimized. anyone can be exploited, and both men & LGBTAI+ survivors deserve the same respect and support as anyone else who has been trafficked. #HTAD2023
