4 Human Trafficking Continuum of Care Outreach, Victim Identification, Engagement Emergency Response Comprehensive Case Management Long Term Restoration Services Victim survivor thriver A woman with cognitive disabilities and her child are held captive in the home of her traffickers. Forced to perform manual labor. Subjected to rape, extreme brutality and degradation. Ashland, Ohio. A 15 year old girl from a troubled home in Delaware County runs away to escape abuse. She is befriended by a trafficker who pretends to love and care for her, but then forces her to prostitute for his profit in Columbus, Ohio. Opiate-addicted women are coerced into sex trafficking by trafficker David Nelms, who forces them to have sex with paying customers at upscale hotels. Nelms uses the victims drug addiction to compel their obedience by withholding the drugs until they comply with his demands. Franklin and Delaware County, Ohio. A Guatemalan man is recruited by a company and brought to Ohio to work on a farm. When he arrives, he is told he has to pay off a fake $13,000 debt before he will be free. The debt grows as the trafficker bills him for lodging in substandard housing, where he is fed from trash cans. He remains captive for 3½ years. Harding County, Ohio. 4

10 The Comprehensive Case Management Model EFFECTIVE CASE MANAGEMENT WITH HT SURVIVORS A strategy for coordinating the provision of services to clients within a community A client-centered, goaloriented process for assessing the need of an individual for particular services and obtaining those services Case Management makes service delivery: - Integrated - Client-Centered - Coordinated - Goal Oriented - Accountable - Flexible - Sequenced - Cost-Effective - Sustained - Comprehensive 10

11 Case Management: A Proven Model for Working with Human Trafficking Survivors Case management is the central component in the provision of comprehensive victimcentered services to trafficking victims. Case management is one of the most vital services required by victims as well as one of the most time-intensive. OVC Task Force Guide: The Vital Role of Case Management. The_Vital_Role_of_Case_Management.htm Components of Case Management Outreach Intake and assessment Designing a service plan Intervening in the community: brokering, advocating, and linking Implementing and monitoring the service plan Evaluating the effectiveness of case management 11

12 Case manager roles Point person Victim advocate Facilitator of communication to help the victim navigate complex criminal justice and social service systems. What are some characteristics of effective case management with HT survivors? What are some of the anticipated pitfalls and challenges? 12

13 Ingredients of Effective Case Management Principles of Effective Work: Common denominators of interventions that produced statistically significant results with people with severe mental health disorders PSYCHIATR REHABIL J SPRING;27(4): THE PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE CASE MANAGEMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. RAPP CA(1), GOSCHA RJ. Workers should deliver as much as the help or service as possible, rather than making referrals to multiple formal services. Case Management with Trafficked Persons is a Multi-Year Process. Err on the side of helping Building independence is a LONG process. We need to directly help trafficked persons until they are confident in their new skills. 13

14 Ingredients of effective case management Natural Community Resources are the primary partners. Work is in the community: Home visits rather than office visits. A combination of individual and team case management works. Ingredients of effective case management Workers have primary responsibility for a person s services. Caseload should be small enough to allow for a relatively high frequency of contact (10:1 to 20:1 for case management). Services should be time-unlimited (if necessary). People need access to familiar persons 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Workers should foster choice. 14

15 Ingredients of effective case management Establishing a hopeful relationship with the client; Assessing client strengths and needs; Developing, in partnership with the client, a service plan to achieve desired outcomes; Locating, linking, and following up with needed services and support; Monitoring, coordinating, and adjusting services and supports to achieve desired outcomes; Providing crisis prevention and intervention services and support; and advocating for the client. NACM Web site, m Elements of Successful Practice 1. Establishing a non-judgmental relationship as a foundation for an effective working alliance 2. Good Communication Verbal Nonverbal 3. Active Listening Key to understanding how to help 4. Focus on the participant s strengths and goals don t get caught up in the Hard to Serve 15

16 Elements of Successful Practice 5. Comprehensive Assessment 6. Creating a plan in partnership with participant 7. Working closely with participant to implement the plan ALWAYS RESPECT THE SURVIVOR S RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION HT Response: Effective Practices Trauma-focused care Survivor-focused and survivor-driven care Empowerment and strengths approaches Coordination of continuum of care by a central/primary provider Continuity of one worker from HT exit through long term stabilization These elements are associated with greater survivor satisfaction and progress. 16

17 The Comprehensive Services Model What does it look like? OVC Comprehensive Services Model Developed by OVC from national research. Provides framework for the services most frequently needed by victims of all forms of trafficking. Addresses immediate health and safety needs. Promotes client self-sufficiency. Based on mobilizing coordinated community partnerships. 17

(2011). Achieving Excellence: Model Standards for Serving Victims & Survivors ofcrime. Washington, DC: United States Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime. Kelly is an 18 year old survivor of sex trafficking. Kelly recently ran away from her trafficker in a neighboring state, and feels very lucky to have gotten a place to stay in a newly opened safe house in Ohio. The house was developed by a local church group whose members are very passionate about ending human trafficking. Hearing about the opening, a local newspaper contacts the safe house about writing a story to publicize their work. Knowing that operating funds are limited, the Safe House director jumps at the chance. The reporter asks if he can interview a trafficking survivor for the story, since readers really need a personal connection to understand the issue. The Director decides that Kelly would be a good story for the paper. She approaches Kelly, asking if she would be willing to talk to the reporter, assuring her that no names would be used. Kelly is uncomfortable, but agrees because she can see how important this is to the director. A few days later, the reporter comes to the house and interviews Kelly and the Director. He asks her to recount her experiences as a trafficked child and to talk about what it means to be safe today. Kelly complies and tells her story. Later that night, Kelly had a dream that her trafficker had found her and was coming to take her back. Kelly starts to dread the printing of the article, worrying about what it might say. For the next few days, she is jumpy, anxious and irritable. When the article is released, Kelly is aghast when she sees the photo of the safe house on the front page. Although her last name is not used, enough details are included in the article that she is terrified her trafficker will find her. Unable to withstand the fear and anxiety, Kelly runs from the house, and is once again on her own and on the streets. 36

37 Survivors and the Media What do you think motivated the director to ask Kelly to talk with the media? Why do you think Kelly agreed to talk with the media? How might the director have prevented this problem? What if, instead of a newspaper article, the request had been to speak to a small audience at a fundraiser for the agency? How would the circumstances and outcome have changed? Which elements of the National Victim Assistance Standards Consortium Standards for Victim Assistance Programs and Providers are relevant to this story? Media Standards Ensure that the identities of trafficked persons are protected and that their dignity is preserved. To avoid any potential risk of harm to participants, service providers should request participants to interact with the media only after the end of their period of service, with their full and ongoing consent, and after appropriate training and counseling. 37

38 5/6/2015 WHY SERVICE STANDARDS? By Mike Wagner and Alan Johnson Sunday June 28, :16 AM A new word for prostitute: Victim Naive and vulnerable girls lured by slick-talking pimps are drugged, beaten and held hostage for sex. They are our children, and they are the latest casualties of human trafficking. Untold horrors Young women forced into the sex trade often suppress their emotional trauma, but some ease their pain by journaling or talking about human trafficking and the abuse they endured. 38

39 Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance Office for Victims of Crime Enhanced Collaborative Model and Funding Stream HUMAN TRAFFICKING TASK FORCE Purpose To fund an enhanced anti-human trafficking law enforcement task force and victim service model designed to identify, rescue, and assist foreign and domestic, adult and minor, victims of human trafficking within the United States.

Smith, Jr., 30, of Columbus, Ohio, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to transportation in interstate commerce for purposes of prostitution and possession of a firearm by a previously convicted felon. According to court documents, during a traffic stop in July 2013 in which Smith was driving, law enforcement officers discovered an adult female passenger had a plastic baggie containing cocaine base and heroin. Based on information previously obtained through surveillance and confidential sources, it was believed that Smith was involved in directing the prostitution activities of the passenger and other females and that he had used the passenger during the traffic stop to conceal his supply of cocaine base and heroin. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, COLUMBUS MAN SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS FOR SEX TRAFFICKING OF CHILDREN COLUMBUS Valerio Alexander, 46, of Columbus, was sentenced in U.S. District Court to 15 years in prison for human trafficking.

46 Reducing Demand for Sex Trafficking 1. What do you think are the top three reasons men buy sex? 2. What do you think are the top 3 myths sex buyers hold about prostitution? 3. What do you think are the top 3 actions that would deter sex buyers from purchasing sex? Sweden In 1999, Sweden developed the Victim-Centered Demand Oriented approach to prostitution and human trafficking. This effort increased social services for victims while increasing the enforcement of laws against the purchase of sex. Resulted in a 50% decrease in prostitution related offenses in 5 years. Government Bill on Violence against Women (Kvinnofrid, 1997/98:55). 46

47 Sweden Prior to ban on purchase of sex, street prostitution was about the same in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. After the ban, reduced 50% in Sweden but increased dramatically. In 2008, Norway and Denmark s level of street prostitution estimated to be 3 times as high as Sweden s level. Ban on purchasing sex appears to have deterred organized crime in Sweden. Swedish government report SOU 2010:49: The Ban against the Purchase of Sexual Services. An evaluation Durchslag & Goswami, 2008 End Demand Illinois Deconstructing the Demand for Prostitution 47

48 What Works in Demand Reduction Throughout the US, a number of initiatives have been successful in combating demand. In their 2012 report, ABT Associates identified three best practices in demand reduction: Public Awareness Campaigns Law Enforcement Initiatives/targeting sex buyers Prevention Education The report notes These innovative best practices are critical to eradicating the commercial sex industry, which is dangerous to victims, degrading to perpetrators, and harmful to society. Until demand is eliminated, the sexual enslavement of children, women, and even men will continue.
