SUMMARY:Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking of Male and LGBTQIA+ Youth
DESCRIPTION:2-hour virtual human trafficking training for professionals engaging with male or LGBTQIA+ opportunity youth at risk for sexual exploitation \nDuring this workshop\, engaged participants will learn how to develop culturally relevant strategies to more effectively engage with male and/or LGBTQIA+ opportunity youth victimized by commercial sexual exploitation\, and those at-risk. \nNational research shows that male-idnetifying youth can make up as many as half of all child sex trafficking victims. LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness also experience disproportionate victimization. Continued challenges exist\, however\, in local efforts to not only identify these youth\, but how to effectively engage and connect them with trauma-informed\, client-driven services. \nThe facilitator will address misconceptions regarding the intersectionality of male-identifying youth regarding sexual orientation and gender expression. The audience will learn how toxic norms around masculinity\, homophobia\, transphobia and gender-biases create and sustain pathways to exploitation. More importantly\, however\, active participants will learn how to engage these youths in more culturally-relevant ways\, that when applied holistically\, have been proven to divert future criminal involvement\, and other unhealthy behaviors. \nAttendees will understand the intersectionality between human trafficking / exploitation and natural disasters\, such as COVID-19\, and discuss ways to mitigate increased risks for further exploitation.
