Publisher's Synopsis
Where Do We Go from Here? We want to help others find freedom - lasting freedom - from trafficking and exploitation. But the process is as fraught with challenges as it is filled with calls to do better. What are the best routes to effectiveness? How do we avoid common pitfalls? This book brings together decades of experience to help us navigate the complexities of responding to holistic needs in prevention, intervention, rehabilitation, and reintegration. It also explores how to prepare ourselves as organizations and individuals for the journey ahead. This companion to Stopping the Traffick is an essential guide for practitioners, donors, and academics to successfully Find Our Way through the Traffick. From a Christian perspective... these chapters address the essential needs for combatting sexual exploitation and trafficking: prevention, outreach, and aftercare for victims, and education, organisation and self-care for advocates. Professor Donna Hughes, University of Rhode Island, USA This work is the most thoughtful, theologically profound, and diverse reflection on human trafficking that is available. If you are a practitioner, this is indispensable to learn how others have engaged in this heartache. If you are aligned as one who... supports those on the front line, you will find this work invaluable in providing an understanding of the diverse factors that lead to a boy or girl, a man or woman being trafficked and how redemptive paths must be custom-fitted for each context. I can't imagine a more important tool in our armamentarium. Dan B.
