CRS and the University of Notre Dame sponsored a workshop on formulating an action framework to prevent human trafficking. This report summarizes the discussions.
This report has its origin in a lecture at the University of Notre Dame by Dr. Angela Reed, RSM, in November 2016, in which she presented her research with trafficking survivors and outlined her theoretical framework for identifying vulnerabilities to trafficking. Leadership at Catholic Relief Services were quick to recognize both the opportunity this framework presented for a deeper investigation of their own work on the ground, and also the valuable contributions their experience could make to Dr. Reed’s work. A partnership with The Center for Civil and Human Rights led to the present project.
