Florida ranks third nationally in reported cases of human sex trafficking. To address this issue, Florida has passed several laws since 2012 to better protect victims and treat them as dependent children rather than criminals. However, services for victims have been inadequate due to lack of funding and continuity of care. Open Doors proposes a statewide network of coordinated services for trafficking victims, including survivor mentors, regional advocates, and clinicians. It aims to provide immediate and specialized assistance utilizing best practices from other states. If implemented, Open Doors could significantly improve identification of and outcomes for trafficking victims in Florida.

The document discusses key lessons learned from outreach and enrollment efforts to connect LGBT communities with health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act. It found that the effectiveness of LGBT outreach varied significantly by state depending on the commitment of state marketplaces to LGBT inclusion and involvement of LGBT organizations. Leading states integrated LGBT communities into outreach plans, while others partnered with LGBT groups. The initial period saw innovative strategies used, but uncertainties around some policies complicated enrollment. Improvements for the future include explicit inclusion of LGBT communities, cultural competency training, and collecting voluntary demographic data.
Victim assistance in Ohio is provided primarily at the county level through victim witness assistance units. Efforts to assist victims vary between counties and include outreach through letters, community presentations, and partnerships with police. However, the number of victims served is inconsistent between counties. While most units wish to help more victims, challenges include limited resources. There is no single ideal model of victim assistance that can be applied to all counties. Recommendations to improve services include increased funding, a statewide evaluation system, and a task force to develop strategies to assist more victims of crime in Ohio.

The document discusses the history and impact of legislation addressing domestic violence in the United States. It outlines two seminal bills from the 1980s and 1990s - the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act of 1984 and the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. These bills increased funding for domestic violence programs, established legal definitions, and were pioneering efforts to address domestic violence on a federal level. However, the document argues that while progress has been made, more still needs to be done to support survivors and prevent domestic violence.

This document discusses the issues faced by male sex workers globally. It notes that male sex workers experience invisibility due to assumptions that they are gay and that their needs fit narratives of female exploitation. They face criminalization both for sex work and homosexuality in many areas. This leads to barriers in health services due to stigma, and increased risks of violence from clients and authorities. However, male sex worker communities have mobilized to advocate for their rights and visibility through groups like NSWP. The document calls for greater awareness and understanding of the diversity of male sex workers' realities and needs.

The report summarizes findings from a study on urban violence in Nakuru County, Kenya. It identifies the most prevalent forms of violence as sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), violence against children, and violent crime. SGBV and violence against children mainly occur at the household level and introduce unique challenges. Victims are primarily identified as women, girls, and children. Young people are both victims and major perpetrators. Unemployment, poverty, and drug/alcohol abuse are cited as underlying causes. The report recommends community-level prevention programs focused on awareness, empowerment, and engaging trusted local institutions. It also calls for addressing socioeconomic factors, strengthening security initiatives, and building police-community trust
The Colquitt County Sherriff's Department is requesting $98,000 to fund their Law Enforcement Victim Witness Assistant Program. This program aims to increase assistance to all victims of crime, especially the large Hispanic population, by continuing to fund a Victim Advocate position and adding a Bilingual Deputy position. Currently, the county only has one Victim Advocate and no bilingual staff, which has led to inadequate assistance and resources for Hispanic victims due to language barriers. The additional positions will help meet more victim needs, reduce recurring crimes, and improve victims' sense of well-being.

Final executive summary for UB/Cornell Law BPD studyDavid Thompson
The Buffalo Police Department engages in widespread unconstitutional and discriminatory policing practices that disproportionately impact African Americans and other minorities. Since 2006, BPD has prioritized aggressive enforcement of minor crimes and traffic laws in minority neighborhoods to raise revenue and further urban renewal efforts. This has led to sharply increasing racial disparities, including African Americans being 5 times more likely to be arrested than whites by 2014. Community members perceive BPD as overly aggressive and unresponsive, acting with impunity. The report documents these unconstitutional patterns and their human and social costs.

Balanced and restorative justice for juvenilessevans-idaho
- The juvenile justice system has traditionally focused on either treatment or punishment alone, but both approaches have failed to satisfy the needs of victims, communities, and offenders.
- A new model called Balanced and Restorative Justice aims to address these shortcomings by focusing on making amends to victims, increasing offender competencies, and protecting public safety through processes where victims, offenders, and communities are active participants.
- Implementing this model requires systemic reforms like developing new goals and resources, redefining roles, and piloting new programs that accomplish sanctioning, rehabilitation, and public safety objectives.

ET An Introduction to Human
Trafficking in the United States
H uman trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons or modern-day slavery, is a crime that involves the exploitation of a person for the purpose of compelled labor or a commercial sex act. While the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ) has long enforced criminal laws against involun-
tary servitude and slavery, the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protection
Act (TVPA) of 2000 brought new benefits, services, and criminal penalties to
address human trafficking in a more comprehensive and effective way.
What Is Human
Trafficking?
The TVPA defines a “severe form of trafficking
in persons” as—
• Sex trafficking (the recruitment,
harboring, transportation, provision,
obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a
person for the purpose of a commercial
sex act) in which a commercial sex act is
induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in
which the person induced to perform such
act has not attained 18 years of age; or
• The recruitment, harboring, transportation,
provision, or obtaining of a person for labor
or services, through the use of force, fraud,
or coercion for the purpose of subjection
to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt
bondage, or slavery.
Who Are the
Victims of Human
Trafficking?
Anyone who is compelled (through force, fraud,
or coercion) to perform any kind of work or
commercial sex act by another person, and
any minor engaged in a commercial sex act, is
a human trafficking victim. Victims of human
trafficking come from all walks of life and are
entrapped in many different settings. Anyone
can be a victim, regardless of their race, color,
national origin, disability, religion, age, gender,
sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeco-
nomic status, or citizenship status. While there
is no defining characteristic that all victims
share, traffickers frequently prey on individuals
who are poor, vulnerable, living in an unsafe
situation, or are in search of a better life. These
victims are deceived by false promises of love,
a good job, or a stable life and are lured into
situations where they are forced to work under
deplorable conditions with little to no pay.
Whether made to work in agriculture, a factory,
or a strip club, forced into commercial sex,
or abused in a home as a domestic servant,
federal law recognizes these individuals as
victims of human trafficking.
Who Are the
Traffickers and
How Do They Trap
Victims?
Traffickers are similarly diverse. There are
traffickers working alone to deceive and prey on
victims; businesses that enslave their workers;

Hawi Medical Peace Work Presentation 2014Hawi Rapudo
This document discusses violence prevention and the role of health professionals. It defines crime and violence as separate concepts, with crime being an act that violates law and violence being the intentional use of force that can harm others. Violence prevention can involve knowledge sharing, influencing policy, and public participation. An ecological risk model shows how risk factors for violence can exist at different levels from societal to individual. A multi-sectoral approach is advocated that targets at-risk groups and addresses situational, social, and criminal justice aspects of prevention. Specific strategies discussed include community safety forums, collecting crime data, and developing community action plans through collaborative partnerships. The document outlines possibilities for how health professionals can contribute to assessment, partnerships, emergency preparedness,

The press release summarizes information about addiction and Brian's Safehouse rehabilitation facility. It defines addiction as the compulsive use of harmful substances that causes physiological withdrawal symptoms. It notes that addiction costs society billions annually by preventing people from being productive members of the workforce. Brian's Safehouse was founded after its namesake Brian died of a drug overdose, and offers a 13-month rehabilitation program that teaches life skills and job training to help residents recover from addiction and become productive members of their communities.
The PRASR project was launched in 2013 by Lawyers for Human Rights to provide holistic support to vulnerable refugees in South Africa. It recognizes that violence, trauma, and difficult living conditions negatively impact the mental health of refugees and asylum seekers. The project aims to address psychosocial barriers that prevent refugees from fully enjoying their rights through legal aid and collaboration with psychologists, social workers, and organizations. It focuses on vulnerable groups like victims of violence, torture, single mothers, and those with medical issues.
Working With Female DWI:DUI Justice-Involved IndividualsMary Ann Mowatt
This document discusses key factors that may influence a woman's pathway to a DWI/DUI arrest, according to research. It outlines several theories: relational theory notes women's need for connection; trauma theory links substance abuse to victimization; addiction theory sees substance use disorder as a primary factor. Additional influences include early alcohol/drug use, socioeconomic marginalization, family history of substance abuse, and genetics. Understanding these factors can help officers better assess and serve justice-involved women with DWI/DUI convictions.
Berry__Mental Health Disparities of American Female Adolescent Victims of Sex...Imani Berry, MPH
This document summarizes research on the mental health disparities faced by female sex trafficking victims ages 12-18 in the United States. It finds that victims display significantly higher rates of PTSD (77%), depression (55%), and anxiety (48%) than non-victims. Traffickers recruit vulnerable adolescents through methods like familial relationships, running away, and social media. Victims then experience physical and emotional abuse intended to make them dependent on traffickers. The document examines risk factors and effective treatment methods, concluding more research is needed to address trafficking prevention, victim identification, and post-trafficking support.

Going forward, ISNA plans to coordinate agencies to address needs and pursue sustainable funding solutions.
This document provides an overview of steps taken by governments around the world to address human rights violations against LGBT and intersex people. It references over 200 initiatives in 65 countries and finds that while progress has been made, serious challenges remain. Key positive developments include laws against hate crimes and discrimination, plans to protect LGBT rights, and courts upholding freedoms of expression and assembly. However, criminalization of homosexuality persists in many places, measures often fail to address issues faced by trans and intersex people, and comprehensive evaluation of policies' effectiveness is still needed. The report aims to encourage further progress in implementing international standards.

This is caused by factors
other than high population, including transportation
patterns, tourism, location and large numbers of
vulnerable residents. The number of children living
in foster care and the large transient population
aggravate the human trafficking problem, as they
become targets for “pimps” and other traffickers.
In response, Florida passed landmark legislation, in
2012 called the Florida Safe Harbor Act,2
which
specified that sex trafficked children be treated as
dependent children needing therapeutic services,
rather than as juvenile delinquents. The new
measure, though, allocated minimal funding. The
Act also required all safe houses serving this
population to provide services such as counseling,
food, clothing, health and dental care,
transportation and security.
A Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, led by
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, was created
in 2014 to bring together state and community
leaders to explore progressive tactics and
treatments.
During the 2015 legislative session, HB 369
became law, mandating human trafficking signs be
placed in public places to educate broader
audiences, including potential victims. In 2016, HB
545 specified that sex trafficking victims shouldn’t
be charged with prostitution, and also criminalized
the use of tattoos to brand victims.

POLICY BRIEF
2. 2
Open doors: a statewide netwok for victims of sex trafficking
A Florida Commercial Sexual Exploitation of
Children (CSEC) workgroup recently called for a
variety of funding priorities based on extensive
review of published research and best practices
nationwide:
A sanctioned, statewide coordinated care
approach for funding and care management
including survivor-mentoring as a component;
Funding should follow the survivor as they
move through the system for specialized services
for substance abuse, mental health and trauma-
related treatments;
Specialized services for boys and LGBT youth;
Multiple types of placements for survivors
beyond safe houses;
Prevention education for at risk youth, potential
“johns,” and the professionals working with
children; and
Prioritizing building the service networks in
Miami, Broward, Hillsborough, Orange, Palm
Beach and Duval counties.6
The Safe Harbor Act was a remarkable step, but its
implementation has lacked continuity of care and
resources to provide adequate services to victims.
Florida is not unlike other states in addressing this
complex issue. Large gaps have remained in trauma
-focused crisis intervention and therapeutic services
after victims are recovered.3
Sex trafficked children experience substantial
psychological and behavioral issues.4
The survivor-
mentor model has been identified as a best practice
for not only identifying children who have been
sexually exploited, but also in their successful
treatment. In addition, survivor-mentor models also
can increase the number of pimp prosecutions by
giving victims the support and empowerment
necessary to testify against their captors and
abusers.5
Minnesota’s “No Wrong Door” program utilizes
many best practices in identifying and treating
sexually exploited youth, which include providing
regional navigators to connect them with services
for emergency, transitional and permanent housing
and other services.
In Massachusetts, a survivor-led mentoring model
called “My Life My Choice Services” prevents the
commercial exploitation of girls by empowering
them with knowledge and skills. It also trains
service providers to recognize girls who are being
commercially exploited, and improves the
community response to girls who have been
exploited.
Georgia has initiated the “Georgia Cares” program,
which provides critical services for victims of
trafficking through victim support and restoration,
emergency response and assistance, training and
awareness and coordination and collaboration. The
program functions as the single coordinating
agency for Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking
(DMST) survivors.

Open doors: a statewide netwok for victims of sex trafficking
An initial general revenue appropriation was
secured from the 2016 Florida Legislature. Direct
service dollars are being sought from federal, state
and local sources to bring Open Doors online
before the end of the 2016 calendar year.
Phase 1 of the pilot is projected to be implemented
in five target regions including Northeast Florida
(Nassau, Duval, St. Johns, Baker, Clay), North
Central Florida (Leon), Central Florida (Orange,
Osceola), Southwest Florida (Collier, Lee) and the
Suncoast (Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota).
Additional counties and contracted providers will
be identified for the Phase 2 implementation to
establish a statewide program.
The Open Doors Network will utilize a public-
private partnership approach and will be
administered by a single contract non-profit
organization, Voices for Florida. The
administration of the Open Doors pilot program
through a single contractor allows for uniform
protocols in the delivery of effective services and
the increased efficiency in the sharing of
information and resources and data collection.
Improved processes and outcomes expected include
increased care coordination for sexually exploited
and trafficked children by developing and
implementing emergency response and assistance,
victim support, survivor-mentors, screening, access
to clinical services, research-based assessments,
safety planning, individual care plans, coordination
of mentoring services, training, public awareness
and collaboration.
As part of its commitment to the Safe Harbor Act,
the Florida Legislature passed training
requirements for organizations and facilities
working with CSEC placements. Open Doors
presents an opportunity to leverage training
resources and reduce administrative burden while
ensuring compliance with state laws.
Open Doors places rescued or referred sexually
exploited and trafficked victims in the care of a
team of professionals, including highly trained
survivor-mentors, regional advocates and clinicians
that work in concert with law enforcement and
community partners at every entry point where a
victim is identified. The regional advocates will
work collectively with the systems in their targeted
area to provide services based on the individual
needs of the children. Survivor mentors, because
they understand what the child is going through,
will establish connections and build trusting
alliances. Through this trust, victims are less likely
to have episodes of running away. They are also
more likely to engage in therapy and other aspects
of their recovery plan. The clinicians will provide
specialized, trauma-informed, therapeutic care to
the victims when they are ready to receive services
as aligned with the total care management plan.
Other features of the model include that the
survivor-mentors will serve as first responders, on
call 24/7 to provide immediate crisis intervention
and assistance for victims, along with day-to-day
care management services under supervision of the
regional advocates. According to experts, “peer-
provided services can improve the effectiveness of
the traditional mental health delivery system.”7
Open doors: How it Works
It adapts the best practices learned from
Minnesota, Massachusetts, Georgia and other
states for use in Florida.
The goal of Open Doors is to provide a
framework and program designed to assist
victims immediately and expertly through the
improved delivery and coordination of existing
services, as well as the development of a
statewide service delivery network.

They will also accompany victims to court hearings
and verify the recovered child’s eligibility for
services, coordinate these services, provide support
and ensure victims are safe and able to participate
in services. In one study, the addition of a peer
specialist to a care management team resulted in
improvement in quality of life measures, fewer
significant life problems and improved self-esteem
and social support.8
The regional advocates will work collectively with
the various systems and stakeholders to provide
access to multiple services and troubleshooting
based on the individual needs of the children, youth
and families. Each regional advocate will develop
and submit a work plan that contains:
Regional needs assessment, including an
examination of the population at risk;
Regional strengths and areas for development;
Goals and measurable outcomes; and
Regional action plan with activities and
timelines.
In general, public policies need to continue the shift
away from blame, shame, discrimination and
isolation experienced by victims toward a model
that offers validation, support, acceptance and
relational safety. Funding and services must align
with the needs of sexually exploited and trafficked
victims and provide a logical starting point for
implementing services in a thoughtful, cost
effective manner. These new policies will create a
solid foundation on which all other service needs
will be identified and considered.
Florida leads the nation in the strength of its sex
trafficking laws, according to national advocacy
organizations. The laws are weakened by
inadequate planning, resource allocations and
implementation.
Florida ranks third in calls received by the
National Human Trafficking Resource Center,
behind only California and Texas.9
Florida ranks second nationwide for having the
highest transient population and fourth for the
number of children in foster care ̶ vulnerable
populations for human trafficking.
National data shows that 85 percent of
confirmed sex trafficking incidents involve U.S.
citizens.
Specific policy recommendations for the near
future include:
Continue to support public policies that
strengthen laws against perpetrators of sex
trafficking and support for services to CSEC
victims; and
Support the Open Doors pilot project and its
eventual expansion, as well as develop and
secure funding for continuity of care statewide
for child victims of sexual exploitation and
trafficking.
