This presentation will examine the existing gaps in services and intervention for survivors of labor trafficking (both domestic and foreign-born). Mr. Masood will address the inequalities in legal protections for survivors of labor trafficking, as well as best practices for service providers (e.g., first responders, attorneys, victim advocates, social services, etc.) over the course of a legal proceeding and aftercare.

The presentation will also expound on the shortcomings of awareness and outreach for those who may be at-risk of labor trafficking. Finally, this presentation will identify the realities men and boys face when service needs must be addressed. Throughout this webinar, personal anecdotes on topics such as long-term financial stability, relationship-building, and education planning will be discussed from a survivor’s point of view.
