Founder of Global Strategic Operatives speaking to nurses and physicians about human trafficking training

Following an event, ‘Practical Solutions to Eradicating Human Trafficking’ held at the United Nations on November 9, 2018, a high-level group was formed. This group embodies the passion, experience and commitment required to achieve the goal of eradicating all forms of human trafficking worldwide.

The FoundinG:

"88% - 92% of victims seek medical care/treatment while being trafficked, & clinicians often misdiagnose these individuals & miss the signs due to lack of training & knowledge."

Lederer & Wetzel, 2014

OUR VISION IS

To create a world where any victim entering the healthcare system will be clearly identified by educated providers, treated respectfully, and offered alternative safe housing with therapeutic services to aid in their healing, thus restoring their dignity as they journey to becoming survivors and independent living.

What our partners + collaborators have to say...

"On behalf of the MyCatholicDoctor clinical staff, we want to sincerely thank you for this training. I received many comments about how useful the information was and how people had not been previously exposed to this kind of training. We are now working on an internal task force and policy."
