Community Conversations: Culturally safe approaches to supporting marginalized survivors of sex trafficking
Join us to learn about ways to better support survivors of sex trafficking!
This mini-series of service provider-led conversations is focused on reaching out to and delivering culturally safe approaches and programs for working with survivors of sex trafficking.
The goal is to foster dialogue and collaboration among service providers to enhance support for marginalized survivors of sex trafficking across various intersections and identities.
The series will delve into the unique challenges faced by survivors from diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to Indigenous, Black, racialized, 2SLGBTIA+, individuals with precarious status, and those living with disabilities.
By bringing together professionals from various fields, we aim to identify wise practices, share resources, and strengthen networks to better support survivors in our community.
