Abstract

Description

The Plan identifies several core values (listed in the Plan Development section on pages 13 16) related to trafficking victim services and key areas for improving service delivery. Recognizing that government alone, cannot stop this insidious crime, the Plan is written to appeal to a wide set of actors in order to bring additional resources, expertise, and partnerships to end human trafficking and better support victims. For example, public awareness must be increased to engage more stakeholders and increase victim identification. There must also be an expansion of access to victim services. Finally, the quality of the services, not merely the quantity, must be addressed to ensure that victims are supported throughout their long-term journey as a survivor.
