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

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.

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.

SUMMARY:National Listening Session – Preventing Online Child Sexual Exploitation
DESCRIPTION:In April 2020\, during National Child Abuse Prevention Month\, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) are hosting four listening sessions about child trafficking and exploitation during the COVID‑19 pandemic. \nWe invite you to join the discussion about prevention and response strategies at the federal\, state\, and local levels. Discussion will also include how COVID-19 affects vulnerability to exploitation and access to supportive services for children and youth across the country. \nEach listening session will include a brief presentation and a facilitated discussion during which you may share information and ask questions related to the topic. We want to learn about your efforts to safeguard children and youth during the COVID-19 public health crisis. \n\nHow can we apply our knowledge of risk and protective factors to this public health crisis?\nWhich programs or resources can we adapt to address child trafficking and exploitation during COVID-19?\nWhat gaps exist in services to prevent and respond to children and youth experiencing trafficking and exploitation?\nWhat systems and interventions need to be adapted during COVID-19 to support the needs of children and youth experiencing trafficking or at risk for exploitation??\n\nPrevention of Online Child Exploitation will discuss prevention of online child exploitation (grooming\, recruitment\, etc.) during COVID-19 when more youth are spending time online\, are disconnected from peers and other social supports\, and are not attending school. Presenters will share thoughts on the impact of isolation\, lessons learned related to COVID-19\, and resources and strategies to mitigate risk.

SUMMARY:How Pornhub is enabling sexual exploitation and what we can do about it with: Laila Mickelwait (Exodus Cry)
DESCRIPTION:Pornhub is the largest and most popular pornography website in the world. It is generating millions of dollars in advertising and membership revenue with 42 billion visits and over 6 million videos uploaded per year. And visits have only increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet it has no system in place to verify reliably the age or consent of those featured in the pornographic content it hosts and profits from. \nAnd indeed\, mounting evidence shows that films of the rape\, abuse and trafficking of both women and children are hosted on Pornhub with disturbing regularity. \nIn “#Traffickinghub: How Pornhub is enabling sexual exploitation and what we can do about it\,” Laila Mickelwait\, Director of Abolition for Exodus Cry\, will discuss how Pornhub enables\, promotes and profits from sexual exploitation\, and what we can do to address the issue. \nOn Thursday\, April 30 from 12-1 pm EDT\, join World Without Exploitation for a timely and insightful presentation. \nPlease register soon\, as capacity is limited.

It focuses on youth wrongfully criminalized youth in the judicial system\, manipulated and coerced by family\, friends\, and caretakers; and exploited by multiple slavery industries. \nIt aims to point out not only the injustices were done to these children but also offer solutions to help spread change in society. The film highlights heroic stories from abolitionists and advocates who work night and day to protect children and to put an end to this epidemic. Sharing an empowering message of how each survivor took control of her/his life\, developing into influential leaders and champions of change. \n  \nFrom victim to survivor to thriver– these young women and men dedicate their lives to preventing injustices from happening to others.
