Abstract
Data for this study included a review of existing state law and policy related to the provision
of specialized services for child trafficking victims, a survey of 128 providers offering
specialized responses to child trafficking within a residential setting and in-depth
interviews with 23 program directors or clinical staff to better understand the nature,
strengths and challenges of various specialized responses to child trafficking within
residential settings. Five key components of a specialized child trafficking response are
outlined. These include:
Contextualizing the legal landscape of each state through a review of mandatory
provisions to protect child victims of human trafficking.
Describing the national landscape of existing residential programs across the United
States that offer specialized services for child victims of human trafficking.
