This panel examines healthcare, survivor experience, and law enforcement responses to human trafficking. Beyond rescue, survivors need trauma-informed, coordinated care to address untreated injuries, chronic illness, mental health issues, and reproductive trauma, often present after recovery but before investigation. Gaps exist where exploitation signs can be missed, and premature engagement can hinder communication and outcomes. The session emphasizes medical stability as essential to trauma-informed, survivor-centered care, advocating for cross-disciplinary collaboration to improve recognition, communication, and support that prioritize survivor dignity, safety, and well-being.
