4 Approaches to Anti-Trafficking Work
If you engage with enough folks doing anti-trafficking work, you’ll notice that there are a few different approaches people regularly take when combatting this issue. Why do some anti-trafficking efforts look so different from others? In this video, Erin Williamson breaks down a criminal justice approach, a human rights approach, a public health approach, and a moral approach. While Love146’s work tends towards the Human Rights and Public Health approaches, we also value setting a big table – meaning we regularly collaborate with people who take different approaches. We believe that approaching trafficking from a multitude of frameworks can be a strength rather than a weakness as long as we do it with openness and respect. A big table allows for a more nuanced understanding of child trafficking and encourages continued conversations that can lead to real solutions. At the end of the day, we want the same thing – to end human trafficking. There’s room for you at the table, too.
