Newton from the journal Child and Family Social Work. The presenter, Erin Wilson Leary, is a MSW student on her first student placement at the NSW Children’s Court Clinic. An additional reading suggestion is this article on a qualitative study on child protection practices in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities (Funston & Herring, 2016).
Human Trafficking: Shooting Our Wounded and How to Stop
Human trafficking is modern-day slavery and the human rights issue of our lifetime, affecting the vulnerable, poor, and oppressed around the world. In this FREE webinar, Dr. Celia Williamson, director of the Human Trafficking and Social Justice Institute at the University of Toledo, will give an overview of trafficking in the U.S. and around the world, including the process of trafficking, indicators to identify victims and traffickers, and how to report it. Rather than continuing to “shoot the wounded” with quick fixes or less-than-best practices, Dr. Williamson advocates for meaningful interventions at the individual and system levels. These can interrupt this practice, create collective change, and transform the way we think about trafficking, from a “Rescue and Restore” mission to a matter of Human Rights.
