Labor traffickers use a variety of tactics to coerce victims to engage in forced labor and services. Sometimes, that forced labor involves criminal activity or labor within illicit businesses. Identifying forced criminality as a form of labor trafficking requires a collaborative and trauma-informed approach. Achieving justice in these cases means that we are not only holding offenders accountable, but also providing victims and survivors with meaningful and accessible services, as well as a measure of control, autonomy, and privacy throughout the process. This training will provide strategies to better identify and work with victims of labor trafficking and forced criminality. Presenters will share case examples of investigations and prosecutions where immigration relief, cultural humility, and other trauma informed strategies and practices were utilized to maximize offender accountability while minimizing re-traumatization to victims.
