The curriculum is the result of a collaboration among 40+ academi-cians and field practitioners from diverse backgrounds and organizations that ad-

dress the needs of trafficked individuals.

Upcoming Dates

The primary goal of the Rescue & Restore

campaign is to raise public awareness of the issue

of human trafficking. Victims of human trafficking

are camouflaged -- by sophisticated and often in-

nocent-seeming techniques – from people they

may encounter on a daily or random basis. In the

weeks and months ahead, new and better meth-

ods of detecting, reassuring and rescuing these

victims will be developed. For now, partners of

the Rescue & Restore campaign coalition can help

us achieve this goal by implementing any or all of

the following action steps:

Include information about trafficking, its vic-

tims and perpetrators in organization news-

letters, on websites and through other com-

munication vehicles

Provide orientation and training sessions, or

join with other organizations, including non-

profits, in hosting information forums on the

trafficking problem and the fresh national re-

solve to counter it

Request and disseminate, both internally and

in appropriate public places, posters, bro-

chures and other materials now being pro-

duced and distributed by the U.S. Depart-

ment of Health and Human Services

Take part in a new national network that has

been established by Capital City Partners to

keep local organizations and their members

abreast of developments in the awareness

campaign as well as ways to address the traf-

ficking challenge Encourage other organizations, and health and

law enforcement officials with whom you come in

contact, to access the growing body of informa-

tion and resources available to rescue and re-

store the victims of this hideous trade in human

beings

A critical element of the Rescue & Restore cam-

paign is the development of national and local

coalitions who will help to implement the cam-

paign on the ground in communities across the

country.

Coalition partners include:

Local government

Civic groups

Churches

Ethnic/Immigrant groups

Women's organizations

Labor organizations

Immigration organizations

Community health providers

Faith-based organizations and other non-profits

Social service organizations

Coalition partners will disseminate campaign in-

formation and resources to intermediaries who

may come in contact with victims of trafficking

to inform them of the services available to vic-

tims in their communities. Rescue & Restore

coalition partners also have access to effective

communications and outreach strategies for

identifying and interacting with victims of human

trafficking.
