WORK HISTORY
National Advisory Board Member @Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking
The Colorado Project to Comprehensively Combat Human Trafficking (Colorado Project) is a collaborative initiative that aims to develop sustainable efforts to end human trafficking with the essential input of those working on the ground. At a state level, the Colorado Project will develop a tool by which communities can assess their strengths and gaps in combating human trafficking.However, very few anti-trafficking efforts are collectively organized according to these four combined elements. In fact, as the anti-trafficking movement reflects upon 10 years since the passage of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act, we see a landscape of scattered efforts, frustrated communities that must cobble resources to combat a vast and complex problem, victims falling through the cracks, and traffickers escaping punishment. Currently, there is no comprehensive process to gauge the number of anti-trafficking efforts underway in the U.S, let alone how effective or successful those efforts are in preventing people from being trafficked.We need a clearer picture of what is working. Using the 4P framework as a starting point, the overarching goals of our project aim to address this sizeable gap. Through the Colorado Project, we will assess the ongoing anti-trafficking efforts in the state of Colorado in order to understand if and how Colorado addresses prevention, prosecution, protection, and partnerships (4Ps). The results will then inform future anti-trafficking efforts in Colorado and, more significantly, create a replicable process for other states to conduct assessments of their own communities.
