The reasons why individuals become vulnerable to this kind of exploitation are complex and multifaceted. The process of recognizing and intervening on their behalf is only a first step toward reclaiming them from a pernicious and deadly system. But for these victims to have a chance the process has to begin somewhere, and medical professionals are uniquely positioned to act. Increasing awareness, improving training, and connecting hospitals and clinics to resources are not the only things needed, but these actions can, and will, instigate positive change and begin the process of changing victims' lives. So please share this program and learn more from the links on our resources page.
One of the most important things you can do to help victims is to start a discussion, either in person or online.
