Past Season
Human Trafficking Research
Human trafficking, which is comprised of both sex and labor trafficking, is commonly understood to be a widespread global issue; however, there is still a lot that we don’t know. Human trafficking can look vastly different depending on the local community context in which it occurs, in terms of prevalence, type of exploitation, and survivor outcomes. Understanding these community-level differences is crucial when considering the appropriate response by policymakers, service-providers, healthcare providers, and law enforcement. Listen along as our guests describe their multi-pronged approach to human trafficking research, which helps to better meet the needs of survivors and their communities.
This season of Just Science is funded by RTI International’s Justice Practice Area.
