Nurses play a pivotal role in the identification of potential victims of human trafficking. This course is designed to provide a general overview of the complex issue of human trafficking. Increased knowledge will help nurses to spot the common red flags associated with trafficking. Once identified, nurses can begin to provide victims with meaningful, trauma-informed care and interventions.

What’s in it for me?

Victims of human trafficking (HT) often encounter health care providers (HCPs) while being trafficked, yet many HCPs lack adequate training regarding the issue. This module will provide an overview of HT, including common forms. Indicators of HT and vulnerabilities associated with HT will be reviewed. Health consequences victims may experience will be discussed in detail. A case study about men and boys in Thailand will be highlight the issue.

Course Learning Outcomes:

After participating in this course, learners will be able to:

  • Define the various types of human trafficking
  • Recognize common indicators of human trafficking
  • List health problems experienced by victims of human trafficking
  • Identify ways nurses can intervene if human trafficking is suspected
  • Describe the current situation regarding men and boys involved in sex trafficking in Thailand
