On Sept. 24, TAT co-hosted a Coalition Build at Cleveland State University with the Ohio Attorney General's Office, the Ohio Human Trafficking Initiative, the Ohio Department of Transportation, the Alliance Against Human Trafficking, and the Cleveland State University Police Department. Attendees learned to identify and report human trafficking and worked together to discuss strategies to protect youth in northeast Ohio from exploitation and human trafficking. "I am grateful for the opportunity to honor my daughter Courtney’s memory by sharing part of her story involving transportation in hopes of helping other victims and their families navigate systems, services and resources. Raising awareness and providing anti-human trafficking education requires a team effort that includes key industries, agencies and survivors. Working together using a multidisciplinary team approach reduces barriers and promotes knowledge integration among law enforcement, health care, legal and transportation professionals, along with advocates and survivors, who are best situated to inform us what they need. Sharing accurate information can reduce disdain, desensitization, stigmatization and prevent victim blaming for vulnerable populations whose sex and labor trafficking victimization is sometimes hidden in plain sight. Every survivor’s story is different. It is important that we identify, listen, believe, and support each person on their journey towards sustainable healing. Thank you to the TAT team for bringing partner agencies together to amplify awareness of anti-human trafficking efforts here in Ohio. No one can do this work alone and we are stronger together.” ~Carolyn M. Kinkoph, MBA
