Stephanie Bratnick
Clinical trauma specialist Stephanie Bratnick speaks on Human Trafficking during Women’s History Month. She has worked for the UNHCR and currently runs a counter trafficking program. She has worked with asylum seekers and refugees of sexual gender-based violence.
Human trafficking is a crime that occurs in every community around the world and yet, is often misunderstood. Stephanie Bratnick, who works for the International Rescue Committee, oversees intensive case management for survivors, rapid rehousing program for survivors, and a program targeting minors trafficked for labor. She will offer a general overview into sex and labor trafficking and the systems that allow it to thrive specifically focusing on Mexico’s labor migration workforce and its role as the gateway to asylum in the United States. She will discuss what constitutes human trafficking, the impacts trafficking has on survivors, how to identify survivors, and best practices for interventions and response.
What we do The Center engages in local community support and outreach to promote and advance initiatives and movements toward social justice, grassroots empowerment and democracy, and environmental sustainability. It is also devoted to critical analysis of the processes and impacts of globalization, both local and international. The Center works to develop alternative socio-economic systems that conserve and share the world’s cultural, economic, and environmental resources for the benefit of humankind.
