SUMMARY:Community Q&A: Survivors Surviving COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:When your world is turned upside down\, again: How survivors are being impacted by the lockdown and what resources are available\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to hear from Monique Ana founder of San Diego-based Victory Garden Sanctuary\, a network of survivors providing support and resources for those struggling beyond the life of exploitation. \nIt may seem that once individuals have moved on from the life that all would be better. Hear from survivors* about the unique challenges and enduring traumas and what do they really need. \n*In the context of care and identifying appropriate needs and resources\, a survivor is considered an individual not currently engaged in the life of trafficking and a victim is someone currently caught up in or in the acute steps of exiting the life.

SUMMARY:Now & Next Online Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:Privilege and Racial Marginalization: The racism of prostitution\nPresented by Vednita Carter (Breaking Free)\, Sonia Ossorio (National Organization for Women New York)\, Christine Stark (Author)\nWe know that chattel slavery in the US was built on a foundation of sexual violence in a myriad of forms. The land theft\, resources appropriation and genocide of Indigenous peoples was also characterized by sexual violence. The same can be said of the colonization of Latin America. This history explains today’s over-representation of women and children of color in the sex industry. \nIn “Privilege and Racial Marginalization: The racism of prostitution\,” Vednita Carter\, founder of Breaking Free\, and Christine Stark\, professor and co-author of “Garden of Truth: The Prostitution and Trafficking of Native Women in Minnesota\,” will discuss socially constructed racial inequality and marginalization as a defining element of the prostitution of women and children\, in a conversation moderated by Sonia Ossorio\, President of National Organization of Women – NYC. They will also discuss the role of male privilege and pornography in driving the demand for prostituted sex. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Now & Next Online Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:Growing Up in a Porn Culture: Social\, emotional\, and cognitive impact on youth\nPresented by Dr. Gail Dines (Culture Reframed)\nOnline porn has become a primary source of sex education for boys and young men around the world. Prior to 2000\, most would first encounter soft-core pornographic images in magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse. Since 2000\, the internet has become the main vehicle for porn\, and hardcore porn is just a click away—it is free\, violent\, and based on the degradation and abuse of women. The proliferation of the smartphone\, together with the growth of teen-targeted social media sites\, has opened up yet more avenues for teens to access hardcore porn. Drawing from multi-disciplinary research\, Gail Dines (Founder & President of Culture Reframed) will address the ways that porn culture undermines healthy development\, and promotes sexual violence\, trafficking\, and gender inequality. Warning: This presentation contains graphic images. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Strategies to Enhance Employee Resilience and Engagement within Survivor-Serving Organizations
DESCRIPTION:Employee turn-over is a challenge faced by many organizations\, particularly organizations that serve survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.  Frequent staff changes can disrupt the quality of and capacity to serve the community and can impact an organization’s sustainability and sense of cohesion.  What strategies can survivor centered organizations utilize to attract and engage staff\, mitigate burnout\, and build strength and collective resilience? This webinar will feature representatives of three organizations that serve survivors of violence and trauma who will share strategies that they use to increase employee engagement as well as improve services for survivors. Facilitators will also discuss some strategies they have incorporated to help staff adapt and manage during this extraordinary public health crisis. \nAfter this webinar\, participants will be better able to: \n\nExamine your organization’s strengths and areas for improvement as to its ability to attract and support staff;\nIdentify strategies to attract\, support and continue to engage employees within organizations that serve survivors of violence and trauma;\nUtilize tools and resources to attract and continue to engage employees; and\nDiscuss tips to address the needs of employees during the current health crisis.\n\nWho should participate? \nExecutive Directors\, Program Directors/Managers/Coordinators\, Supervisors\, and Team Leaders in OVW funded projects. \nPresenters: \nKelly Miller\, Executive Director\, Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence is a national presenter on movement building to end gender violence\, youth engagement\, accessibility and intersectionality in our work.

SUMMARY:Promising Practices in Multi-Victim Operations Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Human trafficking is an organized and coordinated criminal endeavor that requires an organized and coordinated response. Because of the lucrative and clandestine nature of trafficking\, traffickers often exploit multiple victims concurrently. Over the last couple of years\, we have seen an increase in law enforcement efforts to identify human trafficking schemes involving multiple victims; sometimes across various locations. In 2012\, the South Bay Coalition to End Human Trafficking developed a protocol to provide advocacy and legal support to individuals uncovered through multi-victim operations. Through this workshop\, we will share our strategies for addressing multi-victim operations utilizing a collaborative and comprehensive approach. \nSpeakers: Perla Flores\, Community Solutions\, Karen Schulz\, Step Forward Foundation\, and Ruth Silver Taube\, Katherine and George Alexander Community Law Center\, Santa Clara University School of Law. (All speakers are members of the South Bay Coalition to End Human Trafficking)

SUMMARY:Remote Home Visitation: Supporting clients experiencing Intimate Partner Violence in the Time of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Given the COVID 19 pandemic\, and the shift to virtual home visitation\, we recognize that is very difficult for home visitors to determine client safety\, confidentiality and promote healthy relationships.  The “shelter-in-place” recommendations for communities can increase the risks for survivors of Domestic Violence (DV)/Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and their children. The lack of privacy for conversations and heightened isolation makes it difficult to assess the home environment and figure out if coercion and abuse are happening to a client. \nThis webinar is dedicated to evolving promising practices for home visitors within a virtual space to help caregivers who may be experiencing coercion and abuse from their partner\, and to help them and their children be safer – but offered virtually. \nDuring the session\, we will be reviewing how power and control issues may look different within the ‘shelter-in-place’ situation and how these policies might prevent clients from being able to disclose abuse or reach out for help.  Talking about healthy and unhealthy relationships and how to help friends and family is a strategy that builds stronger client relationships and allows survivors to hear about resources and ways to promote safety without disclosure of IPV.  The intervention strategies we will be sharing are adapted for virtual home visitation settings for staff to use with caregivers. \nHowever\, when disclosures happen\, the goal is to understand the survivor’s perspective and priorities\, and work collaboratively with the client to strengthen their safety plan – building on strategies that they have used in the past\, and to connect with the National Domestic Violence hotline or local domestic violence advocacy programs for ongoing systemic advocacy\, problem-solving around safer planning and available resources including possible financial assistance. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand evolving practices and challenges around virtual home visits and IPV.\nLearn CUES\, a trauma-informed evidenced-based intervention\, to address domestic violence\, adapted for virtual home visits.\nLearn about virtual safer planning strategies during heightened isolation and advocacy resources.\n\nSpeakers:  \nRebecca Levenson\, former Senior Policy Analyst for FUTURES turned consultant and co-author of FUTURES’ Curricula Healthy Moms Happy Babies: An Evidence-Based Approach to Addressing Domestic Violence In Home Visitation and Perinatal Case Management Programs. \nLeigh Hofheimer\, Program Coordinator\, Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
