Abstract

Six years after the Mid-term Review on the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children in America for the World Congress Against CSEC, Shared Hope International, ECPAT-USA and The Protection Project at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies partnered to host the National Colloquium: Shelter and Services Evaluation for Action, an inventory and assessment of United States service response to identified domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) victims and survivors. The National Colloquium and its corresponding National Surveys brought together the primary voices on shelter and services for victims of DMST to review current provisions and set down principles for future development and delivery. This report intends to provide a snap shot of the current status of shelter and services delivery to support and guide the direction forward, properly protecting and serving America’s trafficked youth and ultimately achieving two goals: Provide policy makers, government agencies, service providers and law enforcement a clear understanding of current DMST services and shelter delivery models. Design a framework of core principles applicable to the creation and establishment of restorative shelter and services for victims of DMST. (Author Introduction)
