Description
Research suggests the percentage of LGBTQIA+ human trafficking survivors is greater than the percentage of LGBTQIA+ individuals in the general population. We also know that LGBTQIA+ individuals experience unique challenges and have historically been marginalized and underserved. This session will address specific and concrete supportive actions that service providers and agencies can do to develop relationships and create safer and more affirming spaces for LGBTQIA+ young people.
