Faces of Human Trafficking Blog Posts

In 2015, The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) launched the “Faces of Human Trafficking” (FOHT) training series to raise awareness and educate the public about the impact of human trafficking. This comprehensive series included nine powerful videos and discussion guides that delved into various aspects of trafficking. These materials provided crucial insights into understanding the crime, offering effective victim services, and addressing the legal needs and rights of victims. Most importantly, the series amplified the voices of survivors, sharing beyond hard experiences and showcasing inspiring resilience. 

Over the past ten years, the foundations laid by this series have remained, while encouraging new pathways to emerge, driving forward efforts against trafficking. We invite you to read blog posts from some of the original participants, reflecting on the series and sharing their perspectives on the future of the anti-trafficking sector.  As we review the progression of our initiatives, from the FOHT series to the current state of awareness and survivor-led programs, it is important to recognize the impact of our collective effort to continue to question, challenge, and develop our response to the needs of every community impacted by exploitation.
