TL;DR: Local and site-specific efforts to develop an intervention tool to be used in an urban hospital’s emergency department in the midwestern United States are described, which offers a framework informed by rights-based approaches to anti-trafficking efforts that addresses the practical challenges of human trafficking victim identification while simultaneously working to provide resources and disseminate services.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that service providers recognize the limitations of a "one-size-fits-all" approach and support a prevention approach that supports a survivor-centered model, which creates new, non-linear or queered avenues of agency and community for trafficking survivors.

TL;DR: In this paper, two separate empirically based research projects, one working with sex workers and the other working with members of the anti-trafficking community, were brought together to find unexpected commonality in shared perceptions of pleasure, agency, and danger among sex workers, human trafficking survivors, and service providers working with trafficked persons.

TL;DR: This project examines human trafficking from a preventive focus, using data from a case study of service providers working with at-risk populations in the Kansas City, MO-KS area, and proposes a model that reconceives of trafficking as a continuum that includes a range of vulnerabilities, violence, and traumas.

TL;DR: Heil and Nichols as mentioned in this paper explored the role of the St. Louis bi-state region in domestic human trafficking and anti-trafficking advocacy efforts, highlighting the importance of the Midwest in national anti-human trafficking advocacy and policy efforts.
