Overview: In Plain Sight: Human Trafficking for Healthcare Providers

Due to the number of health problems that are associated with human trafficking, healthcare providers are key stakeholders in identifying victims and providing them with on-going trauma informed care (Judge, et al, 2018). 

Up to 88% of trafficking victims seek healthcare during the time they are trafficked (Polis, 2019).

Healthcare providers are failing to recognize victims of human trafficking, thus missing an opportunity to care for these patients. They see us, but we are not seeing them.
