ABSTRACT
Victims and survivors of human trafficking require complex care, and their needs vary from person to person and over time for the same person. This chapter looks at the perspectives of non-clinicians in working with clinicians to provides services to and support human trafficking victims. Human trafficking victims and survivors require complex care, and their needs can vary both from person to person and over time for the same person. In working with victims of human trafficking, clinicians coordinate care and work with non-clinicians, because victim and survivor treatment is necessarily collaborative. Victims may face long-term medical needs due to exposure to toxic substances from farming or construction activities, as well as infections and physical trauma from sexual abuse. They may have dental and medical needs from long-term lack of access to hygiene and basic nutrition as well as from having suffered physical abuse.
