Books on Survivors’ Experiences With Cross-Sector Collaboration (or the Lack Thereof)

Each of the books in this section centers on survivors’ accounts of trafficking crimes they endured. Survivors’ interactions with representatives from social services, law enforcement, or healthcare providers while they were under the control of a trafficker or in the aftermath are part of each book. The interactions they describe point to the need for better cross-sector collaboration in every aspect of counter-trafficking efforts.
